Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/15/2018 -- Lacrimal cannulae is an ophthalmic instrument used for irrigation and probing of the lacrimal duct. Irrigation and probing is a procedure used to evaluate the structure and functional status of the lacrimal drainage system. In case of trauma, it is helpful to look for the presence of canalicular injury. It is also used for overflow tearing known as epiphora due to either overproduction of tears or inadequacy of lacrimal drainage system. Lacrimal Cannulae used in Lacerations of the canalicular system. The canaliculi are several small ducts in the eye through which tear drains. The probing and irrigation is performed whenever the analysis of the lacrimal drainage system is indicated.
The lacrimal irrigation and dilation are generally performed in hospital. However, with practice and care, the procedure can be carried out by an optometrist or general physician. Several dilators and cannulas are available for lacrimal dilation and irrigation, for example stainless double-ended type. Lacrimal dilation may be used prior to syringing and inserting punctum plugs. It also provides relief for short time from stenosis of the punctum. Lacrimal syringing and irrigation of lacrimal system dislodges intra-canalicular punctum plugs. The canaliculus and punctum may require dilation prior to the procedure. Lacrimal cannula is attached to a disposable syringe filled with saline and plunger removed. The cannula is inserted into the vertical canaliculus and the plunger is pressed down to irrigate the lacrimal duct. In addition, the procedure is efficacious for treating congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The ease of process and effective results along with low cost of the product is anticipated to drive the global Lacrimal Cannulae Market.
The lacrimal cannulae market has been segmented based on product, end-user, and region.
