In the ever-evolving field of ophthalmology, Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices (OVDs) play a vital role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of eye surgeries, especially in procedures like cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, and corneal transplants. At Devine Meditech, we are proud to be at the forefront of manufacturing and supplying high-quality ophthalmic OVDs designed to support eye surgeons in achieving optimal clinical outcomes. This blog will help you understand what OVDs are, their importance in ophthalmic procedures, and the various categories we offer—HPMC, Sodium Hyaluronate Ophthalmic Solution, Trypan Blue, and Carbachol.
Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices (OVDs) are transparent, gel-like substances used during eye surgeries to:
• Maintain the shape and pressure of the anterior chamber of the eye.
• Protect intraocular tissues, especially the corneal endothelium.
• Create space for surgical instruments and implants.
• Manipulate and stabilize intraocular structures during surgery.
They are indispensable in modern-day cataract surgery (phacoemulsification), intraocular lens implantation, and other intraocular procedures.
At Devine Meditech, our OVDs are formulated with the highest standards of purity and viscosity to meet the demands of complex surgeries.
At HPMC-based OVDs are among the most commonly used in anterior segment surgeries. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is a synthetic polymer known for its excellent coatability and biocompatibility.
Key Features:
• Maintains anterior chamber depth during surgery.
• Protects corneal endothelial cells.
• Easy to inject and remove.
• Cost-effective for high-volume cataract surgeries.
Applications:
• Cataract surgery
• Glaucoma filtration procedures
• Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation
Devine Meditech's HPMC is manufactured under stringent quality control to ensure safety, consistency, and effectiveness throughout every procedure.
Sodium Hyaluronate is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan with superb viscoelastic properties. It provides superior cushioning, space maintenance, and tissue protection compared to other OVDs.
Key Features:
• High molecular weight and viscosity
• Excellent retention in the anterior chamber
• Enhanced corneal protection
• Supports gentle manipulation of intraocular structures
Applications:
• Complex cataract surgeries
• Glaucoma surgeries
• Corneal transplants
• Intraocular lens placement
Devine Meditech’s Sodium Hyaluronate Ophthalmic Solution is designed to provide maximum surgical precision and tissue safety. It minimizes endothelial damage and ensures clear visual outcomes.
Trypan Blue is a vital dye used in ophthalmology to stain the anterior capsule of the lens, enhancing visibility during capsulorhexis in cataract surgery.
Key Features:
• Selectively stains the anterior lens capsule
• Enhances visualization during surgery
• Useful in mature or white cataracts
• Non-toxic to intraocular tissues
Applications:
• Cataract surgeries (especially hard and mature cataracts)
• Pediatric cataract surgeries
• Complicated phacoemulsification cases
At Devine Meditech, our Trypan Blue formulation offers precise staining without diffusing into surrounding tissues, allowing surgeons to operate with improved accuracy.
Carbachol is a parasympathomimetic agent used intraoperatively to induce miosis (pupil constriction). It helps in maintaining the proper shape of the eye and prevents post-operative complications such as increased intraocular pressure.
Key Features:
• Rapid onset of action
• Long-lasting miotic effect
• Reduces risk of vitreous loss
• Stabilizes the iris during IOL placement
Applications:
• Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation
• Cataract and glaucoma surgeries
• Prevention of post-op intraocular pressure spikes
Devine Meditech’s Carbachol Solution is sterile, safe, and easy to administer, providing excellent intraoperative support for eye surgeons.
At Devine Meditech, we combine research, innovation, and advanced manufacturing to deliver world-class ophthalmic products. Here's what sets us apart:
• GMP-certified facilities ensuring the highest quality standards.
