A lacrimal intubation set is a collection of devices designed to keep the tear drainage system open, typically used to treat or prevent blockages in the nasolacrimal duct. It includes a flexible tube inserted through the eyelid’s puncta into the tear ducts, often with pre-attached tools like probes or stylets to aid placement, and is meant to remain in place for an extended period before removal.
This category is defined as a single-use device, meaning each set is intended for one patient and one procedure only. As such, these sets are supplied sterile and are not reprocessed or reused, with regulatory oversight focused on ensuring their safety and performance for single-use application in ophthalmic or oculoplastic procedures.
