Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices HPMC

Ophthalmic viscosurgical devices  HPMC are essential tools for the anterior segment surgeon.  are short chain, low molecular weight, low viscosity substances with low surface tension that act like “macaroni”. These properties produce excellent coating and protection at high shear rates. 

Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices HPMC Intended Use:

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose for Ophthalmic for Ophthalmic Surgery, which are suitable for cataract extraction, intraocular lens implantation and removal surgery, eye trauma and other eye surgery, are used to maintain anterior chamber depth in the ophthalmology operation and smear the operational instruments to prevent the cornea endotheliocyte from mechanical damage. They can be used only once to effectively avoid latrogenic cross- infection of the users or patients.

Characteristic of Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices HPMC:

1. HPMC is made of pure natural plant cellulose which is tra-nsparent, odorless, compatible, none protein and free of causing inflammation.

2. It has low surface stress and easily spreads, and can protect ophthalmology structure and corneal endothelium from being damaged during operation with stable anterior space to satisfy Thesuccessfulsurgery.

3. HPMC has low molecular weight and fine hydrated nature, 98% of the HPMC residual can discharge out from trabecula net.

4. It is stored at normal temperature and needless of cold keeping.
