How should HYCOSAN® EXTRA be applied? Please read the information leaflet provided with the eye drops.Priming the system: To prime the system remove the over cap (see Picture 1) and invert the HYCOSAN® DUAL bottle with its tip pointing down.Place two fingers on the base and your thumb on the shoulder of the bottle (see Picture 2) and press firmly on the base and release. Repeat this several times until the first drop is released. The bottle is now primed.General use: Remove the over-cap and invert the HYCOSAN® DUAL bottle with its tip pointing down. Support the hand holding the bottle with the other hand (see Picture 3).Hold the bottle as previously shown (see Picture 4). With your head leaning back slightly, pull down your lower eyelid. Press the base of the bottle. This enables the bottle to release one drop into the conjunctival sac. Release and repeat for the other eye. After each application slowly close your eye to allow the fluid to spread evenly over the eye surface.The design of the COMOD® valve system ensures that the size and speed of each drop are the same regardless of the pressure applied to the base of the bottle.During use please avoid any contact between the tip of the bottle and your eye or your skin.Before replacing the over-cap please ensure that the tip is dry (see Picture 5).

1 ml HYCOSAN® EXTRA contains 2 mg sodium hyaluronate, citric acid anhydrous, sodium citrate, sorbitol and water for injections.

When should HYCOSAN® EXTRA be used?HYCOSAN® EXTRA contains the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in many organs of the human body including the eye. Its unique property is that it forms a regular, stable and long lasting, lubricating and moisturising film on the eye surface that is not easily rinsed off. This so-called bioadhesive property ensures that the cornea and conjunctiva are protected and together with the physiologic tears the eye lid moves easily over the surface of the eye. HYCOSAN® EXTRA contains a higher amount of sodium hyaluronate which makes it more viscous and in so doing the eye is provided with an intensive, soothing and long lasting moisturising film. Persistent or more severe symptoms are relieved and the eye is protected against further irritation.Normal tear secretion may be reduced due to surgical interventions on the eye or after eye injuries. A continuous moisturising of the surface of the eye is necessary for the regeneration of the eye’s tissues. By applying HYCOSAN® EXTRA increased moisture and lubrication is supplied to the cornea and conjunctiva so that the physiologic wound healing process is optimal.Being preservative-free HYCOSAN® EXTRA is usually very well tolerated. Additionally HYCOSAN® EXTRA is free of phosphates so that possible complications due to the formation of insoluble deposits in the cornea are avoided.
