LacriCATH® balloon catheters have revolutionized the treatment of blocked tear ducts (chronic epiphora and nasolacrimal duct obstruction) in children and adults.
Our LacriCATH® balloon catheters are used in a similar manner as ordinary probing with the added benefit of an expandable balloon. The catheter also provides more options to patients who have been told only an incisional DCR surgery will solve their blocked tear duct and chronic tearing problem. Our patented balloon catheter design allows surgeons to achieve highly effective results while reducing the post-operative trauma patients may experience. Our ophthalmic products are easy to use and provide a cost-effective treatment of chronic epiphora in both pediatric and adult patients.
Our LacriCATH® balloon dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) procedure kits are designed for treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The 5 mm balloon catheter is extremely useful in both primary DCRs and DCR revisions.
