healon5 ovd

Healon5 OVD is a **viscoadaptive ophthalmic viscoelastic device** composed of **sodium hyaluronate 2.3%** designed for intraocular use during anterior segment ophthalmic surgical procedures, such as cataract surgery[4][6][7]. It exhibits both highly cohesive and dispersive properties, enabling it to maintain anterior chamber depth, facilitate tissue manipulation, and protect ocular tissues including the corneal endothelium during procedures[1][2][7]. Its unique rheological characteristics—very high viscosity and elasticity at low shear rates, in addition to easy dispersibility and removal at high shear rates—make it especially suitable for complex surgical situations like small pupil management or cases with iris prolapse[1][2][3]. Healon5 does not have pharmacological actions; its mechanism is primarily physical, providing space maintenance and tissue protection during surgery[6].
