CE-marked VibeX Rapid riboflavin is formulated to improve diffusion rates while decreasing corneal thinning. VibeX Rapid has a diffusion rate of twice that of standard riboflavin and is topically applied to the cornea after epithelium removal. UVA light from the KXL® system is then applied for cross-linking.

CE-marked VibeX Xtra riboflavin is formulated specifically for use during the Lasik Xtra® procedure. VibeX Xtra is applied directly to the stromal bed prior to replacing the flap following excimer laser ablation. Formulated in an isotonic solution, VibeX Xtra diffuses quickly to minimize flap exposure time and deliver the appropriate concentration of riboflavin for cross-linking. Once the flap has been repositioned over the cornea, UVA light from the KXL® system is applied to activate VibeX Xtra to restore biomechanical integrity to the cornea.

ParaCel

Syringe of ParaCel™.

CE-marked ParaCel is a 2-step trans-epithelial riboflavin specifically formulated for direct application on the intact epithelium. ParaCel’s higher concentration of riboflavin and proprietary formulation allows for fast penetration and diffusion into the corneal stroma.

Intact epithelium diminishes the effects of cross-linking when low-powered UVA devices are used. The KXL® system offers 45 mW/cm2 of power for effective cross-linking through the intact epithelium using ParaCel.

Intended Use

The KXL® System is intended for illuminating the cornea during corneal cross-linking procedures stabilizing cornea which have been weakened by disease or by refractive surgery.

Safety Information

The KXL® System is contraindicated where the corneal thickness, with epithelium, is less than < 375 microns, in corneal melting disorders, aphakic patients, pseudophakic patients without UV blocking lens implanted, pregnant and nursing women, and children. Possible risks may include corneal haze, delayed epithelial healing, corneal edema, stromal scarring, keratitis by infection and sterile infiltrates. For full information consult the directions for use.
