Introduction
HYLO-CARE is an eye drop recommended to enhance regeneration of corneal and conjunctival epithelia.
HYLO -CARE contains 0.1% high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for hydration of the ocular surface as well as 2% dexpanthenol. After surgical procedures it is vital that the ocular surface is sufficiently lubricated to allow proper wound healing. HYLO-CARE® ensures not only a sufficient supply of humidity to the eye but at the same time enhances the regeneration of corneal and conjunctival epithelia via the action of dexpanthenol.
HYLO-CARE is a sterile solution that is preservative free and phosphate free
Composition
1 ml HYLO-CARE contains 0.1% sodium hyaluronate, 2% dexpanthanol, citric acid anhydrous, sodium citrate (acts as a buffer to maintain pH levels and water for injections.
Dexpanthanol - Clinical observations of the cornea show healing of injuries is enhanced by topical application of Dexpanthenol 2-5% in a suitable gel or ointment. This is attributed to the moisturising effect of dexpanthenol which makes the desiccated/dry wound borders more supple and helps keep the wound together for faster healing with less scarring.
Recommended For
- Dry eye post surgery
- Lubrication and support of healing of a damaged surface
- Regeneration of corneal and conjunctival epithelia
- Use during the day when eye ointments and gels may cause blurred vision due to their greasy consistency.
Suitable For
- Children and all ages
- Pregnant and lactating women
- Contact lens wearers
- Post-Surgery
- Patients that need a product that is preservative, alcohol and phosphate free
- Patients who have struggled to use other types of bottles e.g. squeezy bottle
- Long term use
How it works
HYLO-CARE contains high molecular weight hyaluronic acid molecule and the B vitamin, dexpanthanol.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid lubricates the ocular surface post surgery.
- Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in many organs of the human body.
- Due to its chemical structure, it binds and retains many times its own weight in water.
- Its unique property is that it forms a regular, stable and long lasting, lubricating and moisturising film on the eye surface that is not easily rinsed off.
Dexpanthenol belongs to the extensive group of B vitamins. This component assists the eye during its phase of intensive regeneration.
- Dexpanthenol supports wound healing and so superficial erosions on the ocular surface caused by an insufficient tear film as well as wounds which are sometimes the result of surgical procedures, can both heal faster.
