Description
Brilliant Blue G Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile, preservative-free intraocular dye used during vitreoretinal surgeries to selectively stain the internal limiting membrane (ILM) of the retina. It plays a critical role in enhancing the visibility of the ILM and epiretinal membranes, thereby facilitating safe and precise membrane peeling during procedures like macular hole repair, epiretinal membrane removal, and other advanced retinal surgeries.
By providing excellent contrast without penetrating deeper retinal layers, Brilliant Blue G significantly reduces the risk of mechanical trauma and enhances surgical outcomes.
Mechanism of Action:
Brilliant Blue G binds selectively to the ILM, creating a sharp contrast between the stained membrane and the underlying retina. This allows surgeons to: Clearly visualize the ILM, Grasp and peel the membrane safely and Avoid unintentional damage to the nerve fiber layer.
Its low toxicity profile, high affinity for target tissue, and short exposure time make it ideal for intraocular use.
Key Features:
- Selective Staining: Specifically binds to the ILM with minimal staining of other retinal structures
- Improves Surgical Precision: Enhances visibility for better identification and peeling of membranes
- Non-Toxic and Safe: Formulated to be biocompatible and safe for retinal tissue at recommended concentrations
- Ready-to-Use: No dilution or preparation required in the operating room
- Sterile and Preservative-Free: Minimizes the risk of postoperative complications
- Amber Packaging: Protects dye from light degradation
