Outstanding viscosity and unrivaled rheological properties

Thanks to our thirty years of know-how in hyaluronic acid transformation and a unique manufacturing process BOHUS has expertise in designing premium viscoelastics. Minivisc® Plus is the new state-of-the-art OVD displaying a superior cohesiveness.

  • Minivisc® Plus is composed of hyaluronic acid fibers containing the highest HA molecular weight available on the market
  • Thanks to the unique rheological properties, the capsular bag maintenance is maximized and the capsulorhexis is easy to perform
  • High cohesivity enables Minivisc® Plus to be quickly aspirated at the end of cataract procedures
