Description

Heavy Dye for selective staining:

Brilliant Peel was developed for specific staining of the inner limiting membrane (ILM). Specific staining of the ILM allows it to be clearly differentiated from the underlying retinal tissue and the epiretinal membranes. The surgically demanding removal of the ILM thus becomes easier and safer.

• Selective staining of the ILM
• Negative staining of the ERM and of residual vitreous fragments
• Quick and intensive staining due to the sinking of the dye
• Biocompatible solution for identifying residual ILM fragment
• Without preserving agents

Use
