Brilliant Peel®

The “heavy” dye for the selective staining of the internal limiting membrane (ILM)

Application

Brilliant Peel® is a biocompatible tissue dye for ocular use. It is a sterile and endotoxin-free solution of Brilliant Blue G. Brilliant Peel® has been developed specifically for the selective staining of the internal limiting membrane (ILM). The targeted staining of the ILM allows it to be clearly distinguished from the underlying retinal tissue and from epiretinal membranes, enabling precise peeling. This reduces the risk of damage to the underlying retinal layers. As a result, the surgically demanding removal of the ILM becomes easier and safer.
