Indocyanine Green Injection

The first and only ready‐to‐use indocyanine green

A ready-to-use solution for injection with no reconstitution required

† Substantiation scope note (for "first-and-only" claim): Based on review of available product labeling as of July 2026, including Zyogreen Prescribing Information and comparator ICG product labeling (IC-GREEN™, SPY AGENT® GREEN and ICG for Injection Set [KARL STORZ]). [4–7]

Single-Dose Format

Solution for intravenous or interstitial use, supplied as a single-dose ampule.4

Ready-to-Use Solution for Injection

No reconstitution. No extra steps.4

OR Workflow Efficiency

Fewer preparation steps at point of care can help streamline OR workflow.1,3§

Fewer Opportunities for Prep Error

Manufacturer-prepared ready-to-use presentations have been associated with fewer observed preparation/administration errors vs traditional methods.1,2

A Smaller Footprint in Storage

A case of Zyogreen is five ampules, smaller than any of the competitive packs of Indocyanine Green. Where storage space is critical, a smaller carton makes a big difference. No diluent vials required.

Easy-to-Open Ampule

A dot in the neck of the ampule can be pressed, allowing the ampule to open cleanly and without a sharp edge.
