SmartPLUG from Medennium is designed to fit a wide range of punctum
sizes and provide comfortable and effective long-term occlusion
of the punctum. Made of an innovative thermosensitive, hydrophobic
acrylic polymer, SmartPLUG conforms to the exact shape and size
of the punctum for a precise, comfortable fit. Unlike rigid silicone
plugs with exposed heads, SmartPLUG has no protruding cap that
can irritate and cause discomfort.
•
SmartPLUG is a thin, rigid ~ 6 mm acrylic rod in length
and .4mm in diameter before placement into the undilated
punctum at room temperature or
topical
anesthesia is optional.
•
Once inside the punctum and in contact with body temperature,
SmartPLUG shrinks in length and expands in width, reshaping
itself into a soft, gel-like plug.
•
SmartPLUG accommodates to fit a range of puncta, eliminating
the need for measurement and stocking different size plugs.
•
Once in place, SmartPLUG does not protrude from the punctum,
making it more aesthetically pleasing for the patient.
•
The material and design of SmartPLUG eliminates the
need for the head and anchor found on rigid silicone plugs,
decreasing
the potential for irritation of sensitive tissues.
•
SmartPLUG cannot be rubbed out. If desired,
it can be removed by irrigation.
•
SmartPLUG simplifies inventory management and eliminates
product waste.
