Healon, Healon GV, and Healon5 OVDs are used in ophthalmic surgical procedures to maintain deep anterior chamber, which facilitates manipulation inside the eye with reduced trauma to the corneal endothelium and other ocular tissues. Vitrax OVD is indicated for use as a surgical aid in the following ophthalmic surgical procedures: cataract surgery with an intraocular lens, cataract surgery without an intraocular lens, secondary intraocular lens implantation, corneal transplant surgery, and glaucoma filtration surgery. Warnings/Precautions/Contraindications: There are no known contraindications to the use of Healon, Healon GV, Healon5, and Vitrax ophthalmic viscoelastic devices when used as recommended. Please refer to package inserts for full prescribing information. Rx only.
