Description

Ethiodized Oil is a sterile, iodinated, poppyseed oil derivative used as a radiopaque contrast medium in diagnostic imaging. Its primary value lies in its ability to provide high-contrast visualization of body cavities and ducts during radiographic procedures. This product is essential for manufacturers and suppliers in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, particularly those developing contrast agents for lymphography, hysterosalpingography, and other specialized imaging applications.

Application

• Diagnostic Imaging Contrast Agent: Primary use as a radiopaque medium for X-ray and fluoroscopic procedures.
• Lymphography (Lymphangiography): Used to visualize the lymphatic system, aiding in the diagnosis of lymphatic disorders and cancers.
• Hysterosalpingography: Employed in radiographic examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes to assess patency and structure.
• Sialography: Contrast agent for imaging the salivary ducts and glands.
• Fistulography: Used to outline fistulous tracts for diagnostic evaluation.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key starting material or component in the formulation of specialized contrast media.
