Oxane 1300 and Oxane 5700 silicone oils are
highly purified and provide a prolonged
endotamponade of
constant volume.
-
- Clinical Benefits
- Heavier than water endotamponade allows effective
tamponade of inferior and posterior breaks - Medium range viscosity allows easy automatic
injection - Like standard Silicone Oil, its interfacial tension
allows intraocular tamponade: formation of a sole
intraocular bubble prevents fluids passage through
retinal breaks allowing progressive reattachment. - Distinguishable refractive index compared to
irrigating solution and - PFCL favouring excellent visibility during
injection/aspiration
- Heavier than water endotamponade allows effective
- Patient Benefits
- Improved comfort as postoperative face-down positioning is not required
- Allows for more aesthetic 12 o’clock iridectomy
- Avoids passage of Silicone Oil in the anterior chamber in phakic or pseudophakic
eyes - Potentially diminished risk of postoperative anterior and inferior reproliferation
- Indications
- Inferior and posterior retinal breaks
- • RD complicated by severe PVR, penetrating trauma, giant tears
- • Inferior retinectomy for anterior PVR
