HYDROXY PROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE(HPMC)
2%w/v Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
(OPHTHALMIC VISCOSURGICAL DEVICE)
The Ophthalmic Visco-surgical Device (OVD) is a sterile, isotonic, apyrogenic viscoelastic solution of highly purified, non inflammatory Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) solution with a high molecular weight greater than 80,000 Daltons for intraocular use during the surgery of the anterior segment of eye.
For a 2% w/v HPMC solution each ml of solution provides 20mg of HPMC dissolved in balanced salt solution. The viscosity of this solution is 4000 to 5500 cps
INDICATIONS
The OVD is indicated for use as an ophthalmic surgical aid in anterior segment surgical procedures, such as cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. The OVD maintains a deep chamber during anterior segment surgery and thereby allowing for more efficient manipulation with significantly less trauma to the corneal endothelium and other ocular tissues.

At present, there are no known contraindications, when used by a trained Ophthalmic Surgeon, as indicated.
