Vivacy I.Space
Viscoelastic gel containing mannitol.
Laboratoires VIVACY introduces I. SPACE®: a new generation of viscoelastic intraocular hyaluronic acid based gel with the natural antioxidant mannitol specifically designed for anterior segment surgery, protection of the corneal endothelium and maintenance of the intraocular space.
This advanced Antioxidant Formula maintains a perfect balance between cohesive and dispersive properties of the gel, thus ensuring successful surgical outcomes for both the surgeon and the patient: I.SPACE® is an exclusive composition of pure high molecular weight (2,2Mda) hyaluronate sodium (15,5mg/g) with mannitol.
I.SPACE® is also very well adapted for micro-incision surgery and for patients with hard nucleus cataracts.

Advantages of I.Space
ANTIOXIDANT ACTION
Ensures the stability of the protective properties of I.SPACE® on the corneal endothelium throughout the surgery in the presence of oxidative stress induced by free radicals.
MECHANICAL ACTION
Maintains the rheological properties of HA much more stable, thus guaranteeing a safer and easier procedure. Creates and provides excellent space maintenance.
ADVANTAGES OF I.SPACE®
- Excellent pseudoplasticity of I. SPACE® makes it easy to inject, allowing the gel to adapt to a new environment: the surgeon can safely manipulate delicate intraocular tissues and intraocular lenses (IOLs).
- Optimal adhesiveness of the gel allows a very good coating, secures the capsulorhexis and protects the intraocular tissues.
- High viscosity enables an effective maintenance of the intraocular space and a deep anterior chamber. (However, it is not more than 250 Pa.s at rest in order to avoid expulsion of the product from the capsular bag and the anterior chamber during the surgical steps).
- Optimal viscoelasticity provides resistance against deformation, protection from vibrating instruments and other mechanical stress: very effective protection of intraocular structures.
- Excellent cohesiveness allows the material to be easily removed from the eye at the end of the surgical procedure, thus preventing increase of intraocular pressure (IOP) post op.
