Arcotane is composed of 100% perfluorooctane C8F18 - 99% purified.
The highly purified perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) is used for several indications in vitreoretinal surgery, including drainage of subretinal fluids to favor re-adhesion of detached retina to the underlining tissue.
Limiting the presence of free fluoride anions and any other toxic compound like fluoro-acid, fluoro-alcohol is key to ensure perfluorocarbon liquids are safe for use.
