Description
AUROSIL PLUS-(5000 cSt) is a (Purified Polydimethyl siloxane)
highly purified long chain Polydimethyl siloxane trimethyl siloxy terminated
silicone oil designed for prolonged tamponade after surgical treatment for
severe retinal detachment.
-
Greater stability
-
Reduced emulsification due to a high degree of
purification and low level of reactive -OH end groups
-
Less tissue impregnation
-
Subject to all physical and chemical analysis
(H-NMR spectral test, gel permeation chromatography study and gas
chromatography) to ensure purity level
-
Low level of catalyst impurities minimize the risks
of interactions with the ocular enviroriment
-
High quality product
Indications
AUROSIL PLUS is indicated for use as a prolonged retinal
tamponade in selected cases of complicated retinal detachments like
proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), traumatic retinopathy, Proliferative
diabetic retinopathy (PDR), Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, Giant tears,
primary use in AIDS - related CMV retinitis and other viral infections affecting
the retina.
Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions include cataract, anterior
chamber oil migration, keratopathy and glaucoma. Other adverse reactions include
cornea band-shaped degeneration, corneal opacity, silicone oil emulsification,
angle blockade, macular pucker, optic nerve atrophy, traction detachment,
phthisis, redetachment of retina, vitreous hemorrhage, rubeosis iridis,
temporary IOP increase, hypotony, endophthalmitis, aniridia, choroidal
detachment, subretinal infusion, cystoid macular edema, proliferative
vitreoretinopathy reproliferation, subretinal silicone oil, and Corneal
decompensation.
