MINIMS FLUORESCEIN SODIUM 2% 0.5 ML PFS 20 PCS

Product Overview

Minims Fluorescein Sodium 2% 0.5 ML is a sterile ophthalmic solution designed for diagnostic use in ophthalmology. It comes in convenient, single-dose units to ensure sterility and prevent contamination. Each unit contains 0.5 ml of a 2% fluorescein sodium solution, primarily used to detect corneal epithelial damage, assess tear film breakup time, or aid in applanation tonometry for intraocular pressure measurement.

Benefits of Use

• Precise Diagnostics: Effectively highlights corneal abrasions, foreign bodies, and other epithelial defects, allowing for accurate diagnosis.
• Sterile & Safe: Supplied in individual Minims, ensuring sterility for each application and minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and infection.
• Convenient Application: Single-dose units are easy to open, use, and dispose of, making them ideal for clinical settings where efficiency and hygiene are paramount.
• Enhanced Tonometry: Provides clear visualization of the tear film during applanation tonometry, crucial for precise intraocular pressure readings.

How to Use

1. Wash hands thoroughly before handling the Minims unit to maintain sterility.
2. Twist off the cap of the single-dose unit to open it.
3. Instruct the patient to tilt their head back slightly and look upwards.
4. Gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
5. Instill one or two drops of the solution into the conjunctival sac as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.
6. Ask the patient to blink several times to ensure even distribution of the solution across the ocular surface.
7. Dispose of the opened single-dose unit immediately after use, even if some solution remains, to prevent contamination.

• Do not use the solution if it appears discolored, cloudy, or if the single-dose unit is damaged.
