Description

IRIDIUM^® GEL D in the treatment of eyelid edema after surgery.

This product is a patch designed to fit on the eyelid comfortably and without inhibiting normal opening and closing of the eye containing a gel with active therapeutic ingredients.
In order to efficiently activate its cryogenic properties, the product must be kept in the freezer before use.

ACTIVITY

The particular form of the patch gives total protection to the eye against external aggressive agents, thus performing its primary protective activity.
The patch is also designed with holes and a transversal opening so that exudates or ematic secretions can be eliminated.
The patch is covered with a thin film of gel that adds extra occlusive and protective action.

Apart from the protective and normalising action of the gel patch, Ananas sativum, Echinacea angustifolia and 18-beta-Glycyrrhetinic acid, well known for their anti-inflammatory and antiedema properties, are released gradually and controlled from the gel to provide extra support to pharmacological treatment.

The refreshing activity of the gel components alleviates the symptoms by reducing pain, flogosis and any edema.

This activity is guaranteed since the evaporation of the skin’s water content triggers and maintains the cryogenic effect constant over time.
The cryogenic activity of IRIDIUM^® GEL D is influenced by the temperature at which the product was kept. Therefore the product should be kept under refrigeration at a temperature between –5°C and 0°C for at least 30 minutes before use.

The particular structure of the gel permits the optimal function of its components: the biopolimer contained in IRIDIUM^® GEL D possesses particular properties that controls la diffusion of its active ingredients.

Product Use

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

The product is an alternative to applying ice to the eye.
The properties and structure of the patch are tolerable for post ocular surgery use.

WARNING
The product should be kept under refrigeration at a temperature between –5°C and 0°C for at least 30 minutes before use.
