Intended use statement

Healon®, Healon GV®, and Healon5® OVDs are used in ophthalmic surgical procedures to maintain deep anterior chamber, which facilitates manipulation inside the eye with reduced trauma to the corneal endothelium and other ocular tissues. HealonD® OVD is indicated for use as a surgical aid in the following ophthalmic surgical procedures: cataract surgery with an intraocular lens, cataract surgery without an intraocular lens, secondary intraocular lens implantation, corneal transplant surgery, and glaucoma filtration surgery. Warnings/Precautions/Contraindications: There are no known contraindications to the use of Healon®, Healon GV®, Healon5®, and HealonD® ophthalmic viscoelastic devices when used as recommended.
