Bicanalicular Lacrimal Intubation Manufacturers

Bicanalicular lacrimal intubation system employs a guide wire approach to lacrimal intubation. A polypropylene thread attached to the silicone tubing is guided into the lacrimal duct using a specially designed grooved probe. Once the thread is in place, forceps are used to grasp and pull it from the nose. The thread is then used as a leader to pull the silicone tubing. The procedure is atraumatic and bloodless making it particularly attractive for use in children. This system is coated with a thin polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coating that makes the surface slick as glass to prevent debris from collecting on the surface.
