VisiTryBlue is a vital dye, used in matured cataract surgery, which stains the anterior capsule and fibrous tissue to enable the surgeon to see the capsule clearly. VisiTryBlue is a sterile preparation of trypan blue combined with sodium chloride and buffer solution.

Available in sterile 1ml vials pouch packed in boxes of five.

Used as a staining agent and as an aid in ophthalmic surgery.

No known contraindications

• Single use only.
• Do not use the product after the expiration date.
• Not for IV/IM injection.
• Do not use on pregnant women or on children.

Extreme care must be taken using VisiTryBlue or any of its components on patients who are hypertensive.
VisiTryBlue is well tolerated following intraocular injection into the anterior chamber of the eye during cataract surgery.
Mild postoperative inflammatory reactions may occur in some cases.
During animal experiments, teratogenic and/or mutagenic effects have been reported after repeated and/or high dose intraperitoneal or intravenous injections with trypan blue. Therefore, do not use trypan blue in pregnant women.

To use VisiTryBlue, first inject air into the anterior chamber using a 26-gauge needle in the area where the second site is made. This prevents water-like dilution of the dye. Withdraw VisiTryBlue from the vial into a tuberculin syringe, which is then injected into the anterior chamber between the air bubble and the lens capsule. Keep the needle bevel down so the injection is made in a drop format, and the whole capsule gets stained. If part of the capsule remains unstained, inject a drop in that area until it gets stained. Wait for a minute for staining of the anterior capsule to occur. Next, inject the viscoelastic into the anterior chamber. This will distend the eye so that when you make a clear corneal incision, the eye will be tense and you can create a good valve. Use a straight rod to stabilize the eye with the left hand and with the right hand make a clear corneal incision or scleral incision. Inject viscoelastic inside the eye to remove the air bubble and the VisiTryBlue. Now rhexis is started with a needle or with a forceps. You will see the contrast between the capsule, which has been stained, and the cortex, which is not stained. The rhexis is continued and finally completed. When the rhexis is complete, the stained anterior capsule lying in the anterior chamber can be seen.
