[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) By adding the contact area and the limiting mechanism, when the absorbable plug body is implanted in the lacrimal duct, the limiting mechanism prevents the absorbable plug body from detaching from the lacrimal duct, improves the stability of the absorbable plug body in the lacrimal duct, and avoids the absorbable plug body from detaching from the lacrimal duct.
