Introducing Mydrane®

Preservative free badge.
  • Mydrane is an intracameral (IC) injection containing tropicamide 0.2 mg/ml (0.02%), phenylephrine 3.1 mg/ml (0.31%) and lidocaine 10 mg/ml (1%)
  • One dose of 0.2 ml contains 0.04 mg of tropicamide, 0.62 mg of phenylephrine hydrochloride and 2 mg of lidocaine hydrochloride
  • Tropicamide and phenylephrine work synergistically as mydriatics while addition of lidocaine improves patients comfort over topical anaesthesia alone1

Mydrane is indicated for cataract surgery to obtain mydriasis and intraocular anaesthesia during the procedure, offering an alternative method of mydriasis without the need for pre-operative mydriatic drops. The two mydriatics provide a rapid, stable mydriasis for the duration of the cataract surgery.1,2

Use of Mydrane may support cataract service efficiency, providing:4

  • Speed
    • 95% of pupil dilation within 30 seconds1,2
  • Stability
    • significantly more stable mydriasis than topical mydriatic drops3
  • Comfort
    • patient comfort was significantly superior during lens implantation1

How to use

At the start of the surgical procedure, slowly inject 0.2 ml of Mydrane intracamerally in one injection into the anterior chamber of the eye through the side port or principal port.

Pupil dilation is not required prior to surgery however, Mydrane should only be used in patients who have demonstrated, at pre-operative assessment, a satisfactory pupil dilation with topical mydriatic therapy.
