Uniform Suspension of the Clustered Triamcinolone Acetonide Particle

Figure 4

Comparison of the particle kinetics during vitreous surgery in the pig eye. Surgical images of MaQ samples (0.2 mL each) injected to the vitreous of the pig eye. Arrowheads show the clustered MaQ particles. Each of the methods led to the particles becoming smaller (arrows) and the visibility improving. Routine suspension (a). Vortex mixer used for 15 min (b) or 30 min (c). Syringe system used for 5 min (d) or 10 min (e). Ultrasonic washer used for 15 min (f) or 30 min (g).
