Silicone Oill – 1500 cSt
Product Description:
Aurosil 1500 is a fractionated, purified, sterile and apyrogenic silicone oil designed for long term Endotamponade after surgical treatment for severe retinal detachment.
Product features:
- The choice of viscosity that offers an optimum balance between easy injection and stable long term Endotamponade.
- It offers a dynamic viscosity and its stable intermolecular forces resist early emulsification.
- Chemically and physiologically inert homogeneous liquid.
- Low levels of reactive – OH end groups minimize the risk of interaction with ocular environment.
- Manufactured under GMP environment, assures product safety and performance.
Properties:
- Viscosity (at 25°C) : 1500 cSt ± 50 cSt
- Refractive index (at 25°C) : 1.4013 – 1.4053
- Specific Gravity (at 30°C) : 0.9740 ± 0.001
- Average Molecular Weight (daltons) : 44,000 ±1000
- Poly Dispersion Index : 2.5

- Content of -OH-end groups : <70 ppm
Indications:
Retinal detachment with giant tear, retinal detachment with proliferative vitreo retinopathy (PVR), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and traumatic retinal detachment.
Contraindication:
Pseudophakic patients with silicone intraocular lens (silicone oil can chemically interact and opacify silicone elastomers).
Supply:
Available in 10 ml vial in a sterile pouch.
