Evaluation for endotoxin in intraocular materials used during phacoemulsification surgery using a recombinant factor C assay.

Endotoxin was not identified in any tested sample, including those used in cases of fibrin web formation post-phacoemulsification. As fibrin webs are often observed episodically, it is possible that endotoxin levels may vary between batches, or that endotoxin is not related to fibrin formation.
