I-MED Pharma’s proprietary line of veterinary OVD’s is intended for use as a viscosurgical-aid in various veterinary surgical procedures. They are indicated whenever protection and support of delicate cells and tissues are needed in ophthalmic veterinary procedures.
Pioneers in the ophthalmic viscoelastics market, I-MED Animal Health was the first company in the world to offer a viscoadaptive OVD. As phacoemulsification techniques have evolved, so has I-MED’s OVD expertise. Today, we are the only company to offer a specially formulated OVD for veterinary use, the cohesive/dispersive, I-VISC® VET. Sold with cannulae.
The function of OVDs include the stabilization of the anterior chamber during capsulorhexis and IOL implantation, and the protection of the endothelium during phacoemulsification, irrigation and aspiration.
