BD MEDICAL OPHTHALMIC SYSTEMS, recently announced the European launch of BD OcuSeal Liquid Ocular Bandage, a fully synthetic protective barrier designed to provide comfort for post-surgical, posttraumatic, and non-traumatic ocular conditions.
This product, which has European CE Mark approval, is designed to help reduce the need for sutures and reduce complications typically associated with surgical incisions, including infection and patient discomfort. It is intended for direct application on corneal, conjunctival, and scleral surfaces. BD OcuSeal Liquid Ocular Bandage consists of a synthetic hydrogel that is applied directly to the ocular surface as a liquid, using a special brush applicator. The hydrogel is activated by mixing two separate components. This product is engineered to form a low-profile, smooth, soft and transparent protective barrier film on the ocular surface.
