Viscoelastic choices are a high priority with most surgeons. Our viscoelastic choices allow for surgeons to select products specific to their surgical technique. Vantage Outsourcing stocks all of the major manufacturers’ viscoelastic products.

CELLUGEL®

CELLUGEL® ophthalmic viscosurgical device is an advanced, patented HPMC viscoelastic formula, combining clinical performance, economy and convenience. The physicochemical properties and handling characteristics of CELLUGEL® are ideal for anterior segment surgery.

DISCOVISC®

DISCOVISC® ophthalmic viscosurgical device is the first cohesive and dispersive viscoelastic to combine higher viscosity cohesives and lower viscosity dispersives in a single syringe to provide superior retention, space maintenance and visual clarity during all key phases of cataract surgery. Additionally, it is easily removed at the end of surgery.

DUOVISC®

DUOVISC® Viscoelastic system provides the dispersive benefits of VISCOAT® viscosurgical device and the cohesive benefits of PROVISC® viscosurgical device in one disposable package. The use of VISCOAT® viscoelastic solution in the initial phases of surgery takes advantage of the solution’s tissue protection properties. The use of PROVISC® viscoelastic material during the later phases of the surgery takes advantage of the properties that make it better suited for the expansion of the capsular bag and implantation of the intraocular lens following the cataract extraction. The separate syringes enable surgeon personalization of application to achieve optimum surgical control.

PROVISC®

PROVISC® Viscoelastic Preparation is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, high molecular weight, noninflammatory highly purified fraction of sodium hyaluronate, dissolved in physiological sodium chloride phosphate buffer. Each mL of PROVISC contains active 10.0mg sodium hyaluronate; 0.56mg dibasic sodium phosphate, anhydrous; 0.04mg monobasic sodium phosphate; 8.4mg sodium chloride; hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide to adjust pH and water for injection.

VISCOAT®

VISCOAT® ophthalmic viscosurgical device is a highly retentive, dispersive viscoelastic. It is characterized by low molecular weight, low pseudoplasticity and low surface tension. It provides good space maintenance and excellent tissue protection. It is available in a .50 mL size or as part of the DUOVISC® viscoelastic system.

Amvisc®

Well suited for use with every cataract procedure, Amvisc® is a general-purpose viscoelastic that is both effective and efficient. With Amvisc, there are a variety of bottom-line advantages.

• The high viscosity of Amvisc enables it to achieve excellent chamber maintenance during lens insertion and removal
• High cohesion makes complete viscoelastic removal quick and easy

Amvisc® is the right viscoelastic agent for the surgeon who performs cataract surgery using the planned extracap technique. Amvisc possesses sufficient viscosity for excellent chamber maintenance during lens removal. Amvisc is highly cohesive so that complete removal at the end of the case is easily and quickly accomplished. The Amvisc viscoelastic agent is available in two syringe sizes, 0.5ml or 0.8ml.

Amvisc® PLUS

No other single viscoelastic works for you in cataract surgery like Amvisc® PLUS viscoelastic. It's the only viscoelastic that adds the plus of cohesive versatility for every stage of the cataract procedure. Amvisc PLUS viscoelastic is molecularly engineered with a versatile range of cohesion that provides lasting chamber retention plus efficient removal at the end of the case. Cohesive versatility allows you to do what you want to do throughout the procedure, without needing a second viscoelastic.

• During capsulorhexis, creates and maintains a deep chamber for a controlled capsulorhexis and a clear, unobstructed view of the rhexus perimeter.
• During lens implantation, inflates the bag fully for IOL placement, while allowing easy haptic placement and lens rotation.
• During phacoemulsification, stays in the chamber with cohesive versatility and provides excellent cell protection.
• During aspiration, facilitates easy, complete lens removal at the end of the case and results in clear corneas, post op, day one.

OcuCoat®

Formulated from a 2% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose solution, OcuCoat® is ideal for high-volume, small-incision cataract surgery. It can be used for a variety of applications, including lens inserter lubrication.

• OcuCoat can be used directly on the cornea and its excellent coating properties help protect endothelial cells
• The enhanced clarity of OcuCoat enables an unobstructed view of the surgical field throughout capsulorhexis and phaco
• Low molecular weight allows for rapid removal with minimal risk of elevated intraocular pressure
