During vitreoretinal surgery, various types of inert gases, liquids and silicone oils may be used as a tamponade agent to plug the vitreous space in the eye or for use in retinal detachment therapy. Depending on your surgical needs, your choice of a gas, oil or liquid may be dependent upon the product's specific properties, such as surface tension, viscosity and refractive index.

| Description | The D.O.R.C. Silicone Oil is an ultra purified silicone oil which leads a maximum interfacial tension and minimizes interactions between tissues, cells and endo-tamponades media. (Sterile, 10 ml.) | Eftiar® offers the vitreoretinal surgeon a temporary tamponade for efficient re-attachment of the retina, release of subretinal fluid, dissection of fibro-vascular proliferation and controlling retinal bleeding.
