| Product Description |
| Aurosil is a fractionated, purified, sterile and apyrogenic silicone oil designed for prolonged tamponade after surgical treatment for severe retinal detachment. |
|
 |
| Product features: |
 |
Greater stability |
|
Reduced emulsification due to a high degree of purification and low level of reactive –OH end groups |
|
Less tissue impregnation |
|
Low level of catalyst impurities minimize the risks of interactions with the ocular environment |
|
Subjected to all physical and chemical analysis (H-NMR spectral test, gel permeation chromatography study and gas chromatography) to ensure purity level |
|
