A sterile preparation for intraocular application to treat glaucoma.

dichol is the brand name for carbachol (kar-bah-kol) a synthetic parasympathomimetic drug primarily used in the treatment of glaucoma, also used in ophthalmic surgery. Carbachol eye drops are used to decrease the pressure in the eye for people with glaucoma. It is sometimes used to constrict the pupils during cataract surgery. Topical ocular administration is used to decrease intraocular pressure in people with primary open-angle glaucoma. Intraocular administration is used to produce miosis after lens implantation during cataract surgery.

A capsule strainer to visualise the capsulorhexis in cataract surgery.
diblue is the brand name of dahlgren india for its trypan blue (trip en blue) a teratogenic diazo dye. Used as an intravital stain. It is a vital stain used to selectively colour dead tissues or cells blue.
trypan blue is the stain most commonly used to distinguish viable from nonviable cells. Viable cells exclude the dye, while nonviable cells absorb the dye and appear blue. Cells should be in suspension as single cells in buffered saline before counting. Trypan blue has a higher affinity for serum protein than for cellular proteins, so suspending cells in medium containing serum will generate a dark background.

trypan blue is used for for capsulorhexis in phacoemulsification and cataract surgery


Description
a bio compatible dye used for staining anterior capsule to facilitate completion of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. It provides a good visual image of the capsule and frequently used in eyes with mature cataracts, poor red reflex or narrow pupils.

Indications

• phacoemulsification
• small incision cataract surgery
• extra capsular cataract surgery
• incomplete capsulorhexis
• anterior/posterior capsulotomy
• membrane peeling

Supply

• diblue is a sterile solution of trypan blue is available in 1 ml sterile glass vial   with concentration of 0. 6 and 0. 15 mg/ml w/v

A sterile, non pyrogenic, viscoelastic preparation of a non inflammatory, highly purified grade of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose for intraocular application during surgery of the anterior segment of the eye.

digel is the brand name for dahlgren's hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hye-drox-ee-proe-pil meth-ill-sell-yoo-lose) solutions which belongs to the group of medicines known as artificial tears. It is used to relieve dryness and irritation caused by reduced tear flow. It helps prevent damage to the eye in certain eye diseases. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose may also be used to moisten hard intraocular lenses and artificial eyes. In addition, it may be used in certain eye examinations.

sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution (in pfs) - a sterile non pyrogenic solution of sodium hyaluronate use to protect eye tissues such as corneal endothelium during cataract removal, corneal transplant and glaucoma surgery.

 

sodium hyaluronate (naha) is a visco-elastic polymer normally found in the aqueous and vitreous humour. Sodium hyaluronate occurs naturally on the corneal endothelium, bound to specific receptors. The natural sodium hyaluronate layer on the corneal endothelium is reduced during irrigation, but can be restored by exogenous sodium hyaluronate. Sodium hyaluronate is degraded and eliminated by metabolism. Dilon acts as a scavenger by neutralizing the free radicals formed during cataract surgery using phacoemulsification. Sodium hyaluronate is a physiological substance that is widely distributed in the extra cellular matrix of connective tissues in both animals and human. For example, it is present in the vitreous and aqueous humour of the eye, the synovial fluid, the skin, and the umbilical cord. Sodium hyaloronate is derived from various human or animal tissues and fermentation sources do not differ chemically.

 

introduction of naha into the anterior or posterior chamber keeps tissues separated during operative procedures and protects them from trauma from other tissues or instruments. The anterior chamber depth is maintained and vitreous bulge can be reduced. Naha protects corneal endothelial cells and other ocular structures, and may decrease the incidence of synechiae and adhesions.

 

 

naha does not interfere with the healing process

dilon is intended for use during surgery in the anterior and posterior segments of the human eye. Procedures include:

• cataract extraction- a sufficient volume of dilon is gently introduced into the anterior chamber at an early stage during surgeryprior to lens extraction to protect the tissue from trauma.

• intraocular lens (iol) implantation- dilon is introduced into the anterior chamber before lens extraction and is also used to coat the lens and instruments prior to insertion in the eye. Further dilon may be injected during surgery to replace any dilon lost.

• corneal transplantation surgery - after removal of the corneal button the anterior chamber is filled with dilon the donor graft is then placed on the bed of dilon and sutured into place. Dilon may be put into the anterior chamber of the donor eye to protect the corneal endothelium cells of the graft
