Indicated whenever protection, lubrication, and support of delicate cells or tissues are needed in ophthalmic procedures, including cataract and IOL implantation surgery, glaucoma surgery, corneal transplantation sur- gery, anterior segment surgery, and ocular trauma surgery Bio-Clear is supplied as a sterile, nonpyrogenic elastoviscous solution in a single-use syringe and a 27 G can- nula; provided in volumes of 0.55 or 0.85 mL For use in surgery in the anterior and posterior segments Healon and Healon5 OVDs offer unique properties that work together as a team to give surgeons protection, control, clarity, and ease-of-use for every cataract procedure. The combination allows for ideal OVD utilization during each phase of surgery, regardless of surgeons' preferred techniques. Available in 0.60 mL Healon5 and 0.55 mL Healon fill size. For procedures in the anterior segment, including routine cataract surgery, viscocanalostomy corneal trans- plantation, small pupils, shallow anterior chambers, weak zonules, and white, milky cataracts Recommended for use with floppy iris (IFIS) patients due to its ability to create and maintain a deep anterior chamber; high viscosity helps offset positive pressure to aid wound construction; compartmentalizes the an- terior chamber for corneal protection while reducing endothelial cell loss following surgery; latex free; avail- able in 0.60 mL fill size Expands the anterior chamber and flattens the anterior capsule to facilitate capsulorhexis while maintaining space for greater control during IOL implantation Has the highest molecular weight of any viscoelastic; features molecular chains that realign, thus allowing fast and easy removal during high flow; latex free; available in 0.55 mL and 0.85 mL fill sizes For use in surgery in the anterior and posterior segments Used as a surgical aid to gently separate, maneuver, and hold tissues during posterior segment surgery; a clear field is created, thus allowing facilitation of intra- and post-op inspection of the retina and photocoagula- tion; latex free; available in 0.4 mL, 0.55 mL, and 0.85 mL fill sizes For use during surgery in the anterior segment of the eye; designed to create space, to protect the corneal en- dothelium and other ocular tissues, and to manipulate tissues during surgery; used to coat IOLs and instru- ments during cataract extraction and IOL insertion Delivered in a 1 mL latex-free syringe; recommended for use in both routine and complex surgical situations, including IFIS, due to its space maintenance and cell protection benefits Offers protection of the corneal endothelium during phacoemulsification (Viscoat) with ease of removal follow- ing IOL implantation (ProVisc) Surgical flexibility is maintained because of system's combination of cohesive and dispersive properties; available in small volume (0.35 mL Viscoat and 0.40 mL ProVisc) and large volume (0.50 mL Viscoat and 0.55 mL ProVisc); rec- ommended for use in both routine and complex surgical situations, including IFIS, due to the versatility of applications For use as a surgical aid in anterior segment procedures, including extraction of cataracts and IOL implanta- tion Excellent retention features during phacoemulsification to ensure optimal protection of the cornea and other ocular tissues; features a deep chamber during anterior segment surgeries; enhances visualization during the surgical procedure; protects the corneal endothelium and other ocular tissues; available in 0.50 mL and 0.75 mL latex-free syringe An ophthalmic surgical aid in anterior segment procedures, including extraction of cataracts and IOL implan- tation Reduces trauma to the corneal endothelium and surrounding ocular tissues by maintaining a deep anterior chamber during anterior segment surgery; available in three syringe sizes: 0.40 mL, 0.55 mL, and 0.85 mL; high cohesiveness and elasticity provide good tissue manipulation and easy removability On the anterior segment of the eye during surgery Single-use cannula provided; available in 1.0 mL fill size; no refrigeration required Surgical aid in ophthalmic anterior and posterior segment surgery, including cataract extraction, corneal transplantation, glaucoma filtering surgery, and surgical procedures to reattach the retina Cohesive and dispersive qualities in a single syringe; maintains a deep chamber for controlled capsulorhexis, stays in the chamber and provides excellent cell protection during phacoemulsification, and is easy to remove at the end of the procedure Surgical aid in ophthalmic anterior and posterior segment surgery High viscosity provides excellent chamber maintenance during lens removal and insertion; high cohesion makes complete removal quick and easy Ophthalmic surgical aid in anterior segment surgical procedures, including extraction of cataract and IOL im- plantation; used in phakic lens implantation Enhanced clarity provides an unobstructed view of the surgical field throughout capsulorhexis and phaco; low molecular weight provides excellent coating properties and allows for rapid removal with minimal risk of in- creased IOP; excellent for use in phakic lens implantations Indicated for use as a surgical aid to protect the corneal endothelium during cataract extraction (extra-capsular) pro- cedures, IOL implantation, and anterior segment surgery; when introduced into the anterior chamber of the eye dur- ing these surgical procedures, 1% OVD serves to maintain a deep, stable anterior chamber during capsulorhexis and IOL implantation; in addition, it helps to push back the vitreous face and prevent formation of a post-op flat chamber 1% OVD is provided in a 1.0 mL syringe Anterior and posterior segment chamber for capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification Creates a clear, unobstructed view of the surgical field throughout capsulorhexis and phaco; allows complete, quick, and easy removal at the end of the case; latex free and available in 0.8 mL glass syringe EW FEATURE January 2011 55 Indications Additional features Bausch & Lomb Surgical Beaver-Visitec International STAAR Surgical
