VISCOSURGICAL DEVICE (OVDs)

SUPREME

Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Device

Supreme is a dispersive viscoelastic solution of low molecular weight, highly purified grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) 2%, clear, isotonic, sterile, non-inflammatory and non-pyrogenic in nature. It is used for intraocular injection during anterior segment surgery.

Dispersive Solution

Supreme is used to:

  • coat ocular structures during cataract surgery: in the initial part, during capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification, and during ultrasound
  • protect corneal endothelium in an eye where endothelium pathology is suspected

SMARTVISC / SMARTVISC PLUS

Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Device

SmartVisc is a cohesive, sterile, highly purified, non-inflammatory, sodium hyaluronate viscoelastic solution with high molecular weight. it is used to create space, for example, when the anterior chamber is shallow, or when the surgeon requires a higher pressure in the anterior chamber compared to the pressure in the posterior chamber.
