LIPITEAR™
LIPITEARTM : Product Description and Advantages
29
- LIPITEAR™ - microemulsion consists of phospholipidis and triglycerides which forms a tear film-like elastic
lipid shield, a class III medical device, certified with a CE.
- LIPITEAR™ is indicated for use for ocular surgery post-operative (e.g. refractive surgery, cataract surgery
and corneal transplant), corneal erosions and Dry eye Syndrome
- LIPITEAR™ is the only product in the eye drop market with a clinically proven indication of enhancement
- f corneal re-epithelization following mechanical, traumatic and surgical epithelial loss
- While other treatments for dry eye are mainly water-based artificial
tears supplemented with variety of viscose substances, LIPITEAR™
- ffers a formula which is the closest to the natural tear film and can
restore both the aqua layer and the protective lipid layer of the tear
- film. This quality results in a prolonged relieving effect of severe dry
eye symptoms
The LIPITEARTM Platform Technology
- The LIPITEARTM is a micro-emulsion technology which consists of a combination of
phospholipids and triglycerides
- Phospholipids advantages:
- Stabilize the tear film
- Maintain the tear film lipid structure organized in an orderly and elastic manner
- Triglycerides advantages:
- Reconstitute the physiological lipid shield, which controls the evaporation of tear film and
its optical properties
30
The LIPITEARTM Plus: Platform Technology
31
Being a micro-emulsion vehicle, the technology can be used as a drug delivery platform
Its unique pharmaceutical advantages include:
- Longer contact time between the drug and the eye surface,
increasing compliance
- Dual treatment - dry eye treatment + treatment of other ocular
diseases using one eye drop
- Potential slow release capabilities with lipid solubility drugs
Leveraging platform technology capabilities to:
- Formulate advanced pharmaceutical preparations of
new as well as for known drugs
- Formation of an elastic lipid shield above the cornea
- Incorporation of lipophilic drug molecules
- Combination of hydrophilic and lipophilic molecules in one
preparation
