54 results about "Punctal plug" patented technology

A punctal plug, also known as tear duct plug or lacrimal plug, is a small medical device that is inserted into the tear duct (puncta) of an eye to block the duct. This prevents the drainage of liquid from the eye. They are used to treat dry eye.

Punctal plugs for the delivery of active agents

The invention provides punctal plugs for the delivery of active agent to one or both of the tear fluid of the eye and to the nasolacrimal duct. The plugs of the invention have a body, a reservoir contained within the body, and optionally a collarette. The reservoir has at least one opening and contains a polymeric material and at least one active agent.

Dry eye treatment by puncta plugs

A punctal plug and method of treating dry eyes are provided. The punctal plug has two or three layer structure and contains at least one drug, for treating conditions such as dry eyes contained in a core, a potion of which is covered by a drug impermeable shell such that drug can radially diffuse from the core. The punctal plug can be inserted into a patient's upper punctum, lower punctum, or both to deliver the drug for an extended period of time. The drug for treating dry eyes can be, for example, cyclosporine A. The plug can also be used for extended delivery of ophthalmic drugs.

Multi-piece punctal plug

A multi-piece punctal plug has one or more superficial plugs connected to an anchor plug deeper in the naso-lacrimal canaliculus. The anchor is fixed to the wall of the lacrimal duct while the superficial plugs are axially and detachably secured to the anchor plug so that the multi-plug complex may be inserted or removed together as one, or the superficial plugs may be detached separately and replaced securely without disturbing the anchor. Removal and insertion is accomplished by a specific tool having an end for engaging the plugs.

Eye drug delivery system

A punctal plug or lacrimal insert comprising a microelectromechanical system pump and associated reservoir may be utilized to deliver precise dosages of an active agent into the eye though the tear film. The microelectromechanical system pump comprises four main components; namely, a reservoir, a pump, a series of valves and a vent. The microelectromechanical system pump is positioned within a cavity in the punctal plug. The microelectromechanical system pump is positioned with a cavity in the punctal plug.

Super-lubricating serum albumin punctal plug and preparation method thereof

The invention discloses a super lubricating serum albumin punctal plug. The punctal plug of the present invention has a main body (2), a first segment (1), a second segment (3) and a super lubricating coating (4). The surface of the serum albumin punctal plug is soaked in a hydrophilic polymer solution to form a hydrophilic polymer coating through a chemical reaction. When in contact with water, the hydrophilic group of the water-soluble polymer combines with water to swell rapidly , has excellent lubricating properties, can reduce the damage to soft tissue when the punctal plug is implanted, relieve pain, and prevent complications, so it is more suitable for clinical application.
