NEW Ophteis Cohesive

Ophteis is a complete OVD family designed for every surgical approach, from space creation to endothelial cell protection and all-stage versatility. Built for consistent performance, the OVD family combines reliability, simplicity and quality. Manufactured in Europe at Rayner's state-of-the-art biomaterials facility, Ophteis offers a dependable supply, practical room temperature storage and a generous 1.1 ml syringe fill volume.

  • High molecular weight and viscosity facilitate excellent space creation, plus stable anterior chamber maintenance.
  • Cohesive behaviour supports fast and controlled removal of the OVD at the end of surgery.
  • High transparency helps maintain a clear surgical view for enhanced safety and precision.

Comparable rheological
behaviour to J&J Healon PRO*

  1. High viscosity at zero shear rate. The OVD holds its shape in the anterior chamber.
  2. Fast drop in viscosity as shear rate increases. The OVD is fast and easy to remove.

Comparable aspiration time to J&J Healon PRO*

  1. Fast removal when aspirated from the eye.
  2. Removal in one piece without hunting for the OVD inside the eye or behind the IOL.

ADAPT & PROTECT

Ophteis Adaptive PRO

Ophteis Adaptive PRO is designed for surgeons who require versatility and protection throughout the procedure.

  • Performs predictably across all stages of surgery.
  • High viscosity supports consistent anterior chamber maintenance when needed.
  • Sorbitol free-radical scavenging helps to protect endothelial cells from phaco-induced trauma.
  • High transparency helps maintain a clear surgical view for enhanced safety and precision.

Ophteis Adaptive PRO with sorbitol is proven to:

  • Reduce cell death by an average of 28.4% compared to J&J Healon, Alcon ProVisc and Bausch + Lomb OcuCoat.1
  • Provide endothelial cell protection and IOP changes comparable to dispersive Alcon Viscoat at 1 and 3 months post-surgery.2

What is sorbitol?

Sorbitol is naturally found in aqueous humour, where it acts as a key corneal nutrient. It is a stable, non-reactive molecule that lends two additional free radical scavenging molecules to every sodium hyaluronate (NaHa) chain, making it a perfect free radical scavenger to maximise endothelial cell protection.

Leading endothelial protection1

An in-vitro laboratory study carried out at the University of Brighton (UK) in collaboration with Prof Steve Arshinoff showed that during three-second phaco exposure, Ophteis FR Pro (now Ophteis Adaptive PRO) demonstrated greater overall average cell viability (28.4%) compared to the three tested market-leading OVDs.

Cell viability after 3 seconds total phaco time

Figure 1. 3T3 Cellular viability post 3 second ultrasound time: 3T3 Cells were exposed to 3 second total ultrasound time at 60% power in linear chop mode. Cell viability was quantified using MTS assay. Ophteis FR Pro (now Ophteis Adaptive PRO) provided the greatest level of cell protection, significantly greater than Healon, OcuCoat and BSS.

Figure 2. 3T3 Cellular viability post 0, 1 & 3 second ultrasound time: Cell viability and morphology were visually assessed using Calcein-AM staining. The results closely match that of the MTS assay supporting the quantitative analysis findings.

Ophteis FR Pro (now Ophteis Adaptive PRO) provided the best level of cellular morphological protection following all exposures, with typical healthy spread fibroblastic form. All other OVDs presented with spherical or reduced morphology.

COAT & PROTECT

Ophteis Dispersive

Ophteis Dispersive is designed to maximise endothelial coating and protection during surgery.

  • Low molecular weight and high NaHA concentration supports effective endothelial cell coating and protection.
  • Designed to remain evenly distributed across ocular tissues, whilst contributing to adequate anterior chamber maintenance.
  • High transparency helps maintain a clear surgical view for enhanced safety and precision.
