Description

Balanced Salt Solution (BSS) Ophthalmic, available in 36 x 15 mL sterile vials, is specifically formulated for use as an irrigating solution during ophthalmic procedures. It provides an isotonic medium, maintaining the natural balance of ions in the eye, which is crucial for preserving tissue integrity and function during surgery. The solution is designed to mimic the natural fluids of the eye, ensuring that ocular tissues remain hydrated and viable throughout the procedure.

This sterile irrigating solution is intended exclusively for ophthalmic use and is not suitable for intravenous administration. Its application is primarily in procedures such as cataract extraction, corneal transplantation, and other anterior segment surgeries.

Balanced Salt Solution (BSS) is classified as a prescription-only (Rx) product, underscoring its specialized use in medical settings under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals. The strict sterility and composition requirements ensure its safety and efficacy, minimizing the risk of contamination and adverse reactions during surgery. Each 15 mL vial is individually packaged to maintain sterility until the point of use.
