From Safilens Safe-Gel 7 Days Hydromade Patented System

From Safilens' Italian research comes a new product which, thanks to its innovative use of new generation materials, geometries, manufacturing technologies and replacement period, establishes new standards of quality, safety and comfort and offers the contact lens fitter new professional opportunities.

The Safe-Gel 7 Days lens uses a revolutionary material consisting of a bipolymer: Synthetic polymer Filcon 1B and natural biopolymer Hyaluronate Gel. Filcon 1B forms the lens' solid structure, while Hyaluronate Gel is a soluble substance enriched with active minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium, which are already present in the tear film.

As is well known, insufficient tear film or an alteration in its quality are the most common conditions leading to risk of disease or discomfort during contact lens use.

The Hyaluronate Gel is bonded to Filcon B during lens manufacture (Hydromade System). Its function is to lubricate and stabilise the tear film, thus protecting the corneal and conjunctival epithelia. In fact, the new material composition results in a lens which, thanks to body temperature and normal blinking, gradually releases the hyaluronate gel solution, whose hydrating and mucomimetic properties persist on the lens for the recommended, clinically tested wearing time, offering the wearer great benefits of wellbeing and eye hygiene together with an incomparable sensation of freshness.

Thanks to its mucomimetic effect, the slow release of Hyaluronate Gel helps maintain and restore mucin volume within the tear film, significantly reducing the most common symptoms of eye dryness.

Safe-Gel 7 Days is a weekly lens. Lenses are sold in packets of 6.
