Description:

BIOSIL / BIOSIL-F is an ultra purified silicone oil which leads a maximum interfacial tension and minimizes interactions between tissues, cells and endo-tamponades media. The physical properties include a combination of specific gravity, refractive index and surface tension.

Advantages:

  • The choice of viscosity offers an optimum balance between easy injection and a stable temporary tamponade
  • Less tissue impregnation
  • Highly purified and low level of reactive -OH end groups results in reduced incident of emulsification.
  • Non-pyrogenic, clear and colorless
  • Relatively inert and preservative free
  • Minimal volatile content

Primary Indications :

  • Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR)
  • Retinal Detachment caused by trauma
  • Giant retinal tears
  • Diabetic Tractional Detachment
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis
