(High Quality, Purified, 5000 cSt Silicone Oil)
A Tamponade to treat Complex Retinal Detachments
DESCRIPTION
AUROSIL PLUS-(5000 cSt) is a (Purified Polydimethyl siloxane) highly purified long chain Polydimethyl siloxane trimethyl siloxy terminated silicone oil designed for prolonged tamponade after surgical treatment for severe retinal detachment.

AUROSIL PLUS is indicated for use as a prolonged retinal tamponade in selected cases of complicated retinal detachments like proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), traumatic retinopathy, Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, Giant tears, primary use in AIDS – related CMV retinitis and other viral infections affecting the retina.
CONTRAINDICATION
? stability Greater ? emulsification due to a Reduced
AUROSIL PLUS is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to silicone oil. In Pseudophakic patients with silicone intraocular lens (silicone oil can chemically interact and opacify silicone elastomers).
PRECAUTIONS
high degree of purification and low level of reactive -OH end groups
? impregnation Less tissue ?to all physical and Subject
As with any surgical procedure posterior segment surgery using AUROSIL PLUS presents risks which the surgeon must evaluate. Do not resterilize. Single use product only. Do not use if packaging that ensure sterility is damaged. Do not use after the expiry date.
DIRECTIONS
chemical analysis (H-NMR spectral test, gel permeation chromatography study and gas chromatography) to ensure purity level
