Chronic tearing and blocked lacrimal duct treatments using LacriCATH® balloon catheters are less invasive and less traumatic for the patient. Available in sizes and styles for both Dacryoplasty (DCP) and Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) procedures, LacriCATH® balloon catheters offer patients seeking an epiphora treatment a simple and effective alternative to incisional surgery.
Sterile kits are available unilateral (UNIT) or bilateral (BIT) and are single-use.
UNIT kits include catheter(s) and an inflation device. BIT kits include a 4-way stopcock.
LacriCATH® balloon catheters:
Reduce trauma to the lacrimal system
Eliminate placement of tubes in patients
