| What viscosity options are available? RUMEX offers SmartSil5000 Purified Silicone Oil with 5000 cSt viscosity and SmartSil1000 Purified Silicone Oil with 1000 cSt viscosity. When should silicone oil be selected over gas? The choice depends on retinal pathology, required tamponade duration, patient positioning ability, travel considerations, and surgeon preference. Silicone oil is often considered when longer-term tamponade is needed. What injection and removal systems are compatible? Use an injection/removal system compatible with the oil viscosity, syringe or pump, cannula gauge, and vitrectomy platform. How long can silicone oil remain in the eye? Duration is determined by the treating vitreoretinal surgeon based on retinal status and risks of prolonged tamponade. It should be monitored and removed when clinically appropriate. What packaging sizes are offered? Oil is provided as 10 ml in a 20 ml syringe. |
