Aurosil Plus
Silicone Oil 5000 CST
Product Description:
Aurosil Plus-(5000 cst) is a (Purified Polydimethyl siloxane) highly purified long chain Polydimethyl siloxane trime thyl siloxy terminated 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.
Properties:
- Viscosity (at 25°C) – 5000 cst +/- 250 cst
- Refractive index (at 25°C) – 1.3900 - 1.4050
- Specific Gravity(at 25°C) – 0.967 - 0.975
- Molecular weight - 44000 Daltons +/- 1000
- Average Molecular Weight (daltons) : 50,000 ±1000
- Toxic Residue - Nil
- Content of -OH end groups - <70 ppm
Indications:
- Retinal detachment with giant tear.
- Retinal detachment with proliferative vitreo retinopathy (PVR).
- Traumatic retinal detachment.
Contraindication:
Aurosil Plus is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to silicone oil. In Pseudophakic patients with silicone intraocular lens (silicone oil can chemically interact and opacify silicone elastomers).
Supply:
Available in 10ml vial in a sterile pouch
