A method of monocanalicular silicone intubation.

J A Long1.   

Abstract

A method for silicone intubation of a single canaliculus is described. A lacrimal stent has been crafted from a short segment of silicone tubing and a punctal plug. The distal end of the stent is fixed in the punctum with a punctal plug. The silicone stent, which is attached to the punctal plug, bridges the canalicular laceration. Because the punctal plug remains fixed in the punctum, no sutures are needed to fixate the stent to the eyelid.
