Description
Sterile Intraocular Irrigating Solutions are used to irrigate and maintain the intraocular environment during eye surgery.
They help to clear blood, debris, and other materials from the surgical field, maintain appropriate hydration of ocular tissues and preserve the physiological balance of the eye’s internal environment.
Crucially, these solutions are sterile to prevent infection within the eye.
Many solutions are based on a balanced salt solution, which closely resembles the natural fluids of the eye. This helps to maintain the delicate electrolyte balance and pH of the intraocular environment.
Strict aseptic technique is essential during their use to prevent infection.
