Lacrimal Duct Reconstruction Instruments

Canaliculus Intubation Sets (CIS) For Lacrimal Reconstruction
Gently curved malleable stainless steel probes bonded to silicone tubing. These sets are designed to provide gentle, controlled reconstruction of the lacrimal outflow system with optimal patient comfort and outcome. They are pre-assembled to minimize the risk of compromised surgical performance, and they feature malleable probes to provide gentle, atraumatic intubation.

The CIS family includes the C-Line®, Fiber Optic, and Guibor models for retractable, illuminated, and pass-through surgical techniques.

Intubation Applications*
Medtronic Ophthalmics Canaliculus Intubation Sets offer distinctive features that enhance patient care and clinical performance during adult and pediatric treatment of conditions such as:

• Canalicular laceration
• Functional lacrimal obstruction
• Eyelid reconstruction
• Congenital and acquired Nasal Lacrimal Duct Disorder
• Persistant punctal stenosis
• Thermal or chemical injury
• Tearing with infections: Herpes Simplex, Herpes Zoster or Varicella
• Dacryocystorhinostomies
• Lacrimal system reconstruction
• Fistulization of lacrimal system
• Tearing with miotics, antivirals, and anticancers
