Vitreoretinal Tamponades - Silicone Oils


Silicone Oils


Oxane® 1300 and Oxane® 5700
Oxane® 1300 and Oxane® 5700 silicone oils are highly purified and provide a prolonged endotamponade of constant volume.

Features and Benefits:

  • Highly purified^1^
  • High interfacial tension

Indications:

  • PVR C State
  • Giant tears with PVR
  • PDR
  • RD by perforating trauma
  • Intra-operative intra-vitreal haemorrhage
  • Epiretinal membranes


Oxane® HD
Oxane® HD is an exclusive mixture of ultra-purified silicone oil and RMN3 (patented partially fluorinated olefin).

Features and Benefits:

  • Heavier than water endotamponade allows effective tamponade of inferior and posterior breaks
  • Medium range viscosity allows easy automatic injection
  • Like standard Silicone Oil, its interfacial tension allows intraocular tamponade:  formation of a sole intraocular bubble, prevents fluids passage through retinal breaks allowing progressive reattachment
  • Distinguishable refractive index compared to irrigating solution and PFCL favouring excellent visibility during injection/aspiration.

Indications:

  • Inferior and posterior retinal breaks
  • Inferior and posterior retinal breaks
  • Inferior retinectomy for anterior PVR
