Singclean® (Medical sodium hyaluronate gel) is clear liquid gel,which is compounded sodium hyaluronate and physiological balancing salt. Hyaluronic Acid (herein after 'HA') is a unique type of linear macromolecular mucopolysaccharide, composed of repeating disaccharide units of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, in chemical formula of (C14H21NO11)n. Singclean® is a high molecular weight (between 1,000,000~2,600,000) fraction of sodium hyaluronate (1.5% total weight) dissolved in a sodium phosphate buffer. The osmotic pressure of Singclean® is nominally 270 mOsmol/kg ~ 350mOsmol/kg.
Indications:
Singclean® is intended to aid anterior or posterior segment ophthalmic surgery, including:
·Cataract extraction with/without implantation of intraocular lens;
·Corneal transplant surgery;
·Glaucoma filtering surgery;
·Secondary lens implantation.
Contraindications:
Patients with allergy background should not use this product.
Precautions:
Overfilling the eye anterior or posterior segment with Singclean® may lead to increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, or other ocular damage.
Postoperative intraocular pressure may also be elevated as result of pre-existing glaucoma, compromised outflow and by operative procedure and sequel a thereto, including enzymatic zonulysis, absence of an indectomy, trauma to filtration structures, and by blood and lenticular remnants in the anterior chamber.
It is difficult to predict the exact role of these factors in any individual case, therefore the following precautions are recommended:
·Never overfill the eye chambers with Singclean® (except in glaucoma surgery).
