FEATURES

Selective Staining Properties: Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution selectively stains the internal limiting membrane (ILM) while sparing the epiretinal membrane and retina. This selective staining makes it easier for surgeons to visualize and distinguish the ILM, facilitating its precise removal without inadvertently staining surrounding tissues.
Sterile and Pyrogen-Free: Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution is sterile, ensuring that it is free from microbial contamination, which is crucial for intraocular use to prevent post-operative infections. This minimizes the risk of adverse reactions or complications for patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery. Additionally, it is pyrogen-free, minimizing the risk of inflammatory responses in the eye.
Ready-to-Use: Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution comes in pre-filled syringes, eliminating the need for mixing or filtration before use. This saves valuable time in the operating room and streamlines the surgical process, contributing to greater efficiency and convenience for surgical teams.
Standardized Concentration: Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution contains a standardized concentration of Acid Blue 90 (0.025% w/v), ensuring consistent staining properties and reliable surgical outcomes across procedures.
Facilitates Tissue Visualization: By selectively staining the ILM, Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution enhances its visualization during surgery. This facilitates the precise identification and removal of the membrane, contributing to improved surgical precision and reduced risk of damage to surrounding tissues.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution contains Acid Blue 90 (Brilliant Blue G) at a concentration of 0.025% w/v. This sterile, pyrogen-free solution is specifically formulated for use in vitreoretinal surgery to selectively stain the internal limiting membrane (ILM). Its isotonicity, non-toxicity, and standardized concentration ensure safety and efficacy during intraocular use. Supplied in pre-filled syringes, it offers convenience and ease of handling in the operating room, contributing to smoother surgical procedures and improved patient outcomes.

INGREDIENTS

The primary active ingredient in Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution is Acid Blue 90 (Brilliant Blue G). In addition to the active ingredient, the solution contains excipients necessary to maintain isotonicity, pH balance, sterility, and stability.

OPERATIONS

Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution is specifically indicated for use as an adjunct to vitreoretinal surgery. Vitreoretinal surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the vitreous humor and retina of the eye. These procedures may include the repair of retinal detachments, removal of vitreous opacities or hemorrhages, treatment of macular holes, and management of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), among others.

ADVANTAGES

Improved Visualization: Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution selectively stains the internal limiting membrane (ILM) without staining surrounding tissues such as the epiretinal membrane or retina. This selective staining enhances visualization during surgery, allowing surgeons to target and remove the ILM accurately.
Reduced Risk: By aiding in the precise visualization of the ILM, Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution helps reduce the risk of inadvertent tissue damage during vitreoretinal surgery. This can lead to improved surgical outcomes, reduced rates of post-operative complications, and ultimately better visual outcomes for patients.
Ready-to-Use Formulation: Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution comes in pre-filled syringes, eliminating the need for mixing or filtration before use. This saves valuable time in the operating room, streamlining the surgical process and improving efficiency for surgical teams.
Sterile and Non-Toxic: Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution is sterile, pyrogen-free, and non-toxic, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or complications for patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery.
Facilitates Tissue Removal: By selectively staining the internal limiting membrane (ILM), Biotech Bio Blue 90 Ophthalmic Solution facilitates its visualization and removal during surgery. This contributes to smoother surgical procedures and may result in shorter operation times, reducing patient discomfort and surgical risks.

CONCENTRATION
