DUOVISC
* VISCOELASTIC SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE TWO VISCOELASTIC MATERIALS
WITH DIFFERENT PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES THAT CAN BE USED JOINTLY,
INDEPENDENTLY AND/OR SEQUENTIALLY TO PERFORM SPECIFIC TASKS DURING A
CATARACT PROCEDURE. THE CHOICE OF VISCOELASTIC IS BASED UPON AN
UNDERSTANDING OF THE
UNIQUE ABILITIES OF EACH TO FACILITATE PERFORMANCE OF THE SURGICAL
TASK AT HAND. DUOVISC VISCOELASTIC SYSTEM CONSISTS OF VISCOAT
* (OVD) AND PROVISC
*
(OVD).
The use of VISCOAT (OVD) in the initial phases of anterior segment
surgery takes advantage of VISCOAT (OVD) demonstrated tissue
protection properties
(1-3)
. The
use of PROVISC (OVD) during the later phases of anterior segment
surgery takes advantage of physicochemical properties that make it
better suited for expansion of
the capsular bag, ease of removal and facilitation of intraocular lens
implantation following the cataract extraction.
APPLICATIONS :
VISCOAT (OVD) should be carefully introduced using standard sterile
techniques (using the 27 gauge cannula provided with the syringe) into
the anterior chamber prior
to capsulotomy. Instillation of VISCOAT (OVD) prior to lens removal
will provide additional protection to the corneal endothelium.
Instillation of the solution at this point is significant in that a
coating of VISCOAT (OVD) may protect the corneal endothelium from
possible damage arising from
surgical instrumentation during cataract extraction surgery.
Additional VISCOAT (OVD) may be instilled intracamerally during
anterior segment surgery to fully maintain the anterior chamber or
replace any volume lost during the
surgical procedure. At the end of the surgical procedure it is
recommended that VISCOAT (OVD) be removed from the eye as completely
as practical by thorough
irrigation (with a sterile irrigating solution) and aspiration.
PROVISC (OVD) possesses physicochemical properties that make it well
suited for tissue manipulation, suc
