Sterile Packaging
This corneal iontophoresis applicator is an electrode that enables the rapid passage of Riboflavin and other pharmaceuticals through the epithelium into the corneal stroma when coupled with the creation of a low-intensity electric field.
The soaking of the cornea with riboflavin, in association with ophthalmic UV-A radiation, is indicated for the treatment of infectious keratitis and corneal melting. The transepithelial penetration of Riboflavin, favored by the electrical field of low intensity, greatly improves the corneal cross-linking procedure by shortening the Riboflavin soaking time and by avoiding the need for de-epithelialization, thus shortening the procedural time and helping to reduce patient discomfort during postoperative healing.
