Description
VISCOSTYLE
HYDRO-GEL
DescriptionProduct for ophthalmic use for dogs, cats, non-DPA horses and pet rabbits consisting of a sterile 2% colloidal solution of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, to be used in the ophthalmic field for diagnostic purposes or as an ocular lubricant in eye operations.
It is characterized by the following chemical-physical properties: perfectly transparent, soluble in water in all proportions, stable at pH between 2 and 13, does not form insoluble precipitates with metal salts or with any organic residues that may be present. The hydroxypropylmethylcellulose content, at a temperature of 20°C, results in a viscosity level of 4,000 cPs (centipoise).
Due to these characteristics and the high degree of viscosity placed on the cornea, it allows the use of contact glasses for diagnostic purposes.
How to use
- Remove the safety ring by lifting the tab, remove the bottle cap and hold it between the thumb and forefinger of your dominant hand.

- Place your dominant hand sideways over the animal's head so that you can gently pull the upper eyelid with the outer edge of your little finger to facilitate exposure of the eye.
