OcuGas contains the colourless and odor-less gas which is chemically and physiologically inert. OcuGas is provided as a kit consisting of two sets: a gas reservoir (set 1) and a mixing de vice (set 2). Initial purity of OcuGas SF6 is 4.5 Decimal fr action (equal to 99.995 % purity), of OcuGas C3F8 - 4.0 Decimal fraction (equal to 99.99 % purity). OcuGas is used after a complete vitrectomy.
