How To Prepare OcuSeal ™
OcuSeal ™ is a synthetic hydrogel (85% water) packaged as two components: powder and liquid separatelyHydrogel = cross-linked chemical with attached water molecules.
Solution must be used within 30 [email protected]

OcuSeal ™ Histologic Study Conclusions
• Biocompatible• Re-epithelialisation: evident• Neovascularization: not evident• Degradation of OcuSeal™: evident

OcuSeal ™ Chemistry
• 2 active components:– PEG (ester) & PEI (water soluble amine)
• PEG + PEI Cross-linked hydrogel (~30 secs)
• Hydrogel film is spread over patient’s wound• Interacts with underlying tissues • Forms a seal lasting 2-3 days.
– Tissue compliant– Tissue adherent– Elastic (gelatinous)

Degradation of OcuSeal ™
• Hydrogel: applied on the external surface of the eye, it naturally sloughs off.
• OcuSeal ™ within the wound: naturally degraded by hydrolysis.
• Tissue healing occurs at roughly the same rate of hydrogel degradation, hence the space is taken up by regenerated tissue.
• Degradation by-products are water soluble, and therefore are reabsorbed and excreted through the kidneys.

OcuSeal™ Clinical Results 79 Eyes
Methods:
• At the end of cataract surgery, 79 cataract surgery patients received OcuSeal ™ liquid bandage for corneal incision sealing ( BD Medical Ophthalmic Systems) .
• 79 patients: 45 males – 34 females
• Mean age: 66.83 ± 11.32 yrs.
• Upon application, OcuSeal ™ liquid bandage cross-links within 30 seconds and forms a smooth, soft and transparent protective barrier film over corneal incisions.
Results:
• No patient discomfort , complications or adverse events were noted during the first three months after application.
• During the learning curve, OcuSeal ™ was not applied correctly in 16 eyes.
• This was due to the fact that the product polymerises in 30 seconds and application onto the cornea was not quick enough .
• The liquid bandage surplus disappears (slit lamp evaluation) in all patients within 12 hours.

Why OcuSeal ™?
• Ease to use• May prevent bacterial inflow• Provides barrier to microbial infection• Long lasting action• Enough for the incision to heal• Degrades as tissue is regenerated• Promotes natural healing• Transparent• Comfortable for the patient
