How To Use Trypan Blue
Tags:
Trypan Blue 0.6 mg/ml is a vital dye specifically designed for ophthalmic use, particularly in cataract surgery. This sterile solution is essential for visualizing the capsulorhexis during procedures, especially in the absence of a red fundus reflex. It effectively stains the anterior lens capsule, providing excellent visualization in eyes with mature cataracts. The isotonic, buffered formulation ensures safety and efficacy, making it a trusted choice for eye surgeons.
