Tear Duct Occluder
- Page Type
- Product Code
- Definition
- A nasolacrimal compression device is a device used to compress the nasolacrimal ducts to reduce drainage by means of temporary occlusion of the nasolacrimal system. The device may include a nose piece attached to a frame to apply pressure to the duct.
- Physical State
- the frame material (e.g., metal) is durable and flexible enough to appropriately fit the frame to the patient and maintain nose pad placement. The nose pads from which the pressure is applied should include padding to mitigate risk of abrasion. The device also includes a mechanism to maintain consistent pressure during use (e.g., adjustable Velcro strap).
- Technical Method
- A device of this type uses a nose piece to apply direct pressure to the top of the nasal aspect of the orbital rim to occlude the ducts during application of the pressure. The pressure can be controlled by means of tightening a strap that is worn around a patient's head. The device includes a failure mechanism to protect against excessive pressure.
