Description

Important Note(s) Octa exists as 100% fluorinated compound and is completely free from hydrogen containing by products. In this way Octa is absolutely non-toxic. Due to the high specific weight of Octa the detached retina can be defolded intra-operatively in a very simple and efficient way. Octa is a good prerequisite for a subsequent permanent tamponade with gas or silicone oil. Like all heavy perfluorocarbons, Octa shall not stay inside the eye for long, due to its high specific weight. Heavy perfluorocarbons are in no way vitreous substitutes.

Package sizes: 7 ml vial, sterilized in the finished container, single dose
