AK-GEL 2% / 2.4% Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose
AK-GEL 2% / 2.4% is a sterile, clear, isotonic and non-pyrogenic viscoelastic ophthalmic solution used for intraocular application during anterior segment eye surgery. It is designed to support ophthalmic surgeons by maintaining the depth of the anterior chamber and protecting delicate intraocular tissues during surgical procedures.
AK-GEL contains Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 2% / 2.4%, which works as an ophthalmic viscoelastic surgical aid. It helps create and maintain surgical space inside the eye, making procedures such as lens extraction and intraocular lens implantation more controlled and precise.
Product Introduction
AK-GEL 2% / 2.4% is used during surgery of the anterior segment of the eye. It acts as a volume substitute for aqueous humor during intraocular operations and helps maintain the anterior chamber throughout the surgical procedure.
Its viscoelastic properties help reduce the risk of trauma to the corneal endothelium, iris and ciliary body by minimizing direct contact between surgical instruments and delicate ocular tissues.
Description
AK-GEL 2% / 2.4% is an isotonic, sterile and viscoelastic solution for intraocular use. It helps protect the surrounding intraocular tissues and supports a stable surgical environment during eye surgery.
