An easy to use pre-surgical prep kit designed to improve patient outcomes

Ocular surgery results are highly dependent on pre-operative care

Recommending the Bruder Sx Pre-Surgical Patient Prep Kit helps patients prepare their eyes for surgery in three easy steps and is designed to work with your pre-surgical protocol.

Cleanse eyelids & lashes

Bruder Hygienic Cleansing Wipes

Textured wipes cleanse the eyelids of makeup, oil, and debris to help the antibacterial HOCl work more effectively.

Reduce bacteria

Bruder Hygienic Eyelid Solution

1-2 sprays of 0.02% pure hypochlorous acid solution sprayed on closed eyes helps kill bacteria safely and gently.

Stabilize tear film

Bruder Sx Pre-Surgical Compress

The warm compress, applied for 8-10 minutes, opens clogged glands and helps stabilize the tear film to improve pre-surgical measurements.

Ocular surface and meibomian gland health are essential to a stable tear film. Using the Bruder Sx Pre-Surgical Compress is a recommended way to unclog meibomian glands and stabilize tear film to help improve pre-surgical measurements.

What are eye care professionals saying about the Bruder Sx Pre-Surgical Patient Prep Kit?

The Bruder Pre-surgical Patient Prep Kit is an easy and affordable way for patients to ‘tune up’ the ocular surface, minimize post-op discomfort and help prevent infection.

The way it's packaged makes it look very official and is a lot easier than navigating products at the pharmacy. It’s easy to hand the Pre-Surgical Prep Kit to a patient and say this is what all of our patients do to prepare for cataract surgery. It reduces the risk of infection and it helps us get better results.

There is a very small chance of a post-op infection after cataract surgery, yet we treat every patient with antibiotics. Meanwhile, there is an 80% chance that a cataract patient has pre-op dry eye that can compromise outcomes. It seems obvious that ocular surface prep should be standard of care.

Patients are a lot more compliant when it comes to surgery, which makes it easy to explain the value of these products, especially when you point out that the kit is also intended to reduce risk of infection.

The kit is awesome because it’s ‘one-and-done.’ You just give it to the patient, and call it a day!

It's not just the act of surgery that's important – it's the prep and the recovery as well.

If you treat the ocular surface preoperatively, it’s going to improve the accuracy of IOL power calculations and optimize your outcomes.
