Lacrimal dilators are reusable surgical instruments designed to widen the lacrimal canal during eye procedures, improving drainage and reducing blockages. Clinically, they assist in treating conditions like nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) by mechanically expanding the duct to restore normal tear flow.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical tools, often requiring compliance with general medical device standards for reusable instruments. They are supplied sterile or intended for sterilization before use, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications and local regulatory requirements.
