AkCoat is a Dispersive combination of Sodium hyaluronate 3% with Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate 4%, supplied as Prefilled syringe. The combination offers several advantages in ophthalmic surgery, particularly during cataract procedures.
Corneal Endothelial Protection: AkCoat, a dispersive OVDs, is known for their ability to protect the corneal endothelium from damage during surgery. This is especially crucial during phacoemulsi cation, where ultrasonic energy and uid turbulence can cause harm. Space Maintenance and Retention: AkCoat offers a dual function: Sodium hyaluronate provides space maintenance, while chondroitin sulfate contributes to superior retention, ensuring the OVD stays in place and continues to protect tissues. Improved Adhesion: Akcoat constituent Chondroitin sulfate's double negative charge enhances its adhesion to the positively charged corneal endothelium, further improving its protective capabilities. Reduced Corneal Edema and Cell Loss: AkCoat provides better protection and retention and helps minimize corneal edema and endothelial cell loss, leading to better surgical outcomes and faster recovery
