Densiron® 68

Properties and Benefits

 

"Heavier-than-water" endotamponade with exceptional properties

Densiron® 68 is a "heavy" silicone oil tamponade that achieves a higher density than water due to the addition of highly purified perfluorohexyloctane (F6H8®). With a density of 1.03 – 1.06 g/cm³ (at 35 °C ± 2 °C), Densiron® 68 is especially recommended for the treatment of inferior retinal detachments and tears, where conventional treatment methods may be less effective.

Densiron® 68 offers high biocompatibility and a moderate viscosity of 900 – 1400 mPas (at 35 °C ± 2 °C), enabling fast and straightforward application.

This "heavy" silicone oil Densiron® 68 is characterized by consistently high quality. It contains no low-molecular-weight, particularly cyclic, siloxanes and is free from ionic compounds.

• Used as a temporary retinal tamponade after surgical treatment of severe retinal detachment and macular holes

• Ideal for inferior retinal issues

• Provides a moderate viscosity of 900 – 1400 mPas (at 35 °C ± 2 °C) without increased dispersion tendencies

• Increased density of 1.03 – 1.06 g/cm³ (at 35 °C ± 2 °C) for efficient retinal tamponade

• Easy application and removal of the endotamponade

• High storage stability even at low temperatures (no phase separation down to 2 °C)
