Product Description
SHELLGEL is a sterile nonpyrogenic, transparent viscoelastic solution of highly purified sodium hyaluronate. SHELLGEL contains 12 mg/mL of high molecular weight (greater than 1 million daltons) sodium hyaluronate dissolved in physiological saline. In the limit of zero shear rate, the viscosity is 105,000 cps (105 Pa s) at 25°C, and the osmolality is approximately 320 milliosmols. Sodium hyaluronate is a naturally occurring polysaccharide composed of sodium glucuronate and N-acetylglucosamine found throughout the tissues of both man and
animals. SHELLGEL is prepared from the dermis of rooster combs.
SHELLGEL is a sterile viscoelastic preparation supplied in a disposable glass syringe delivering 0.8 mL of sodium hyaluronate dissolved in physiological saline. Each mL contains 12 mg of sodium hyaluronate, 9 mg of sodium chloride and q.s. sterile water for injection USP. Sodium hydroxide and or hydrochloric acid are used to adjust pH (if necessary). SHELLGEL is sterile filtered and aseptically transferred to syringes. The filled syringes are sealed and the final packaging is sterilized by irradiation. Contents are sterile and nonpyrogenic in unopened and undamaged pouches.
