AUROLAB – Aurosil, Aurosil Plus

AUROSIL
High quality, purified, 1000 cSt silicone oil.

Description
Aurosil is a fractionated, purified, sterile and apyrogenic silicone oil designed for prolonged tamponade after surgical treatment for severe retinal detachment.

Product features
– Greater stability
– Reduced emulsification due to a high degree of purification and low level of reactive –OH end groups
– Less tissue impregnation
– Low level of catalyst impurities minimize the risks of interactions with the ocular environment
– Subjected to all physical and chemical analysis (H-NMR spectral test, gel permeation chromatography study and gas chromatography) to ensure purity level

Characteristics
Viscosity (at 25°C): 1000 cSt ± 50 cSt
Refractive index (at 25°C): 1.4013 – 1.4053
Specific Gravity (at 30°C): 0.9740 ± 0.001
Average Molecular Weight (daltons): 44,000 ±1000
Poly Dispersion Index: 2.5
Toxic Residue: Nil
Content of -OH- end groups:

Indications
Retinal detachment with giant tear, retinal detachment with proliferative vitreo retinopathy (PVR), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and traumatic retinal detachment.

Contraindication
Pseudophakic patients with silicone intraocular lens (silicone oil can chemically interact and opacify silicone elastomers).

Storage
Store between 2C° and 35C°

Supply
Available in 10 ml vial in a sterile pouch

AUROSIL PLUS
High quality, purified, 5000 cSt silicone oil.

Description
Aurosil Plus is a highly purified long chain polydimethyl siloxane trimethyl siloxy terminated silicone oil, designed for prolonged tamponade after surgical treatment for severe retinal detachment.

Characteristics
Viscosity (at 25°C): 5000 cSt ± 250 cSt
Refractive index (at 25°C): 1.4013-1.4053
Specific gravity (at 25°C): 0.967–0.975
Average Molecular Weight (Daltons): 50,000 ± 1000
Toxic Residue: Nil
Content of –OH- end groups:

Indications
Aurosil Plus is indicated for use as a prolonged retinal tamponade in selected cases of complicated retinal detachments like proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), traumatic retinopathy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, giant tears, primary use in AIDS – related CMV retinitis and other viral infections affecting the retina.

Contraindication
Aurosil Plus is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to silicone oil. In pseudophakic patients with silicone intraocular lens (silicone oil can chemically interact and opacify silicone elastomers).

Storage
Store between 2C° and 35C°

Supply
