Additional Information for Temporary Intracanalicular Collagen Implant
Temporary Intracanalicular Collagen Implants are medical devices used in ophthalmic surgery. They are part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, specifically in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
These implants are designed to be inserted into the lacrimal drainage system of the eye to treat conditions such as dry eye syndrome or punctal stenosis. The lacrimal drainage system is responsible for draining tears from the eye into the nasal cavity. When this system is not functioning properly, it can lead to excessive tearing or dryness of the eyes.
Temporary Intracanalicular Collagen Implants are made of biocompatible collagen material that is easily inserted into the canaliculus, which is a small channel in the eyelid that connects to the lacrimal drainage system. The implant helps to maintain the patency of the canaliculus, allowing tears to drain properly.
These implants are temporary in nature, meaning they are designed to be absorbed by the body over time. The duration of their effectiveness varies depending on the specific product and the patient's condition.
Overall, Temporary Intracanalicular Collagen Implants are a valuable tool in ophthalmic surgery for managing tear drainage issues and improving patient comfort.
