Perfluorocarbons

For draining subretinal fluids and flattening the retina in vitreoretinal surgery. Additional indications include: lifting diving nucleus or luxated IOL’s, bleeding control etc.

Vitreq has developed two perfluorocarbons for the vitreoretinal surgery. Deca-Vit and Octa-Vit for draining sub retinal fluids and flattening the retina in vitreoretinal surgery. Additional indications include: lifting diving nucleus or luxated IOL's, bleeding control etc.

• Naturally-pure basic materials, additionally highly purified.
• Maximum interfacial tension to avoid mixture with other liquids.
• Syringe packaged, ready-for-use.
• 5 ml and 7 ml syringe packaging.
• Vitreq quality system complies with EN ISO 13485-2012.
• CE-certified.

DecaVit

Specifications:

• Specific gravity: 1.93G/cm^3.
• Refractive index: 1.31.
• Boiling point: 140 Celsius.

Surgical benefits:

• Higher gravity.
• High(er) interfacial tension to silicone oil.
• High(er) refractive index for visible differentiation with BSS and silicone oil.

OctaVit

Specifications:

• Specific gravity: 1.77 G/cm^3.
• Refractive index: 1.27.
• Boiling point: 101- 105 Celsius.

Surgical benefits:

• High vapor pressure allows evaporation of residual droplets.
• Easier complete removal at the end of the surgery.
