AGILITY for seamless integration into your practice

Optiray® is well-known thanks to its unique combination of ready-to-use presentation (prefilled syringes), wide range of concentrations (including 320mgI/mL, not available among other LOCM) and appropriate physicochemical properties.

Optiray® is commercialized in vials and in prefilled syringes, a solution designed to enhance safety and efficiency in radiology units. Prefilled syringes can bring several benefits to your daily practice helping to prevent microbiologic contamination in clinical routine, especially in the case of immunocompromised patients7 as well as the reduction of crossed infection or patient administration errors8. An extensive list of benefits can be experienced, including an easier manipulation by radiographers9. Optiray in prefilled syringes are available in 50 to 125mL volumes to adapt best to your scanner technology, patient morphology and examination type.*

* Not all the concentrations and indications may be available in your country. Indication may vary from children to adult population Please check with your local Guerbet representative for more information

Optiray® contrast agent has six hydroxyl groups evenly arranged around the tri-iodinated benzene ring and has no methyl group. It possesses properties of high hydrophilicity, low viscosity and is classified as low osmolality contrast media.1-3

The combination of single and multi-use presentations, its appropriate physicochemical properties and its broad range of indications makes Optiray® the agile product that fits in most imaging situations, for diagnostic and interventional procedures.
