Ocu-vet UV-C
First Specifically Designed Device for Use in Small Animals
Safe, fast, and non-invasive adjunctive treatment for corneal infections.
- Fast, non-invasive treatment: specifically designed for both small and large animals.
- Targets bacterial, fungal, and mixed infections: providing versatile clinical application.
- Portable, ergonomic, easy-to-use interface: designed for smooth integration into clinical workflows.
- Proven safety: preliminary testing suggests the device is safe for use on canine and equine corneas.
- Precision beam control: A built-in iris collimates the beam to match the ulcer’s diameter, while automatic adjustments to beam size and intensity based on working distance ensure uniform, targeted treatment.
Developed through research and collaboration — bridging innovation, safety, and practicality in veterinary ophthalmology.

Understanding Corneal Infections
Corneal infections, particularly bacterial keratitis, represent a serious ophthalmic issue in veterinary patients and can lead to vision loss if not promptly and aggressively treated. Initial treatment typically involves empirically selected topical antibiotics, which are later refined based on diagnostic results such as corneal cytology and culture. Strict compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen is essential, as any lapses can worsen the prognosis.
In dogs, Gram-positive bacteria are the predominant cause (approximately 71%), with Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Streptococcus canis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa being the most commonly identified pathogens. However, the rise in antibiotic resistance is significantly reducing the effectiveness of topical therapies, posing an increasing challenge in both veterinary and human ophthalmology.
- 71% of infections in dogs are caused by Gram-positive bacteria.
- Empirical antibiotic therapy is often required before lab results are available.
- Compliance is critical: consistent dosing ensures better outcomes.
- Antibiotic resistance is an emerging threat to effective treatment.
