Description

The VeraPlugTM punctal occluder is designed to provide reduction or elimination of tear drainage through the inferior or superior puncta, thus maintaining lubricating tears on the surface of the eye. Each VeraPlugTM punctal occluder is molded from medical grade silicone. The VeraPlugTM is available in four sizes (small, medium, large and x-large) and is packaged sterile, two per box. Each occluder is sterile, preloaded on an inserter.

Indications for Use

The VeraPlugTM is for use in patients with dry eye syndromes.

Contraindications

Contraindications include, but are not limited to, eye infections, sensitivity or allergies to the occluder material and/or materials used in the manufacture of the device, blockage/infection of the lacrimal systems, inflammation of the eyelid, and epiphora.

Precautions

The VeraPlugTM may enhance the e ect of some ocular medications in the eye. Depending on the type of medication being used the dose may need to be altered accordingly. If the patient experiences irritation, infection or epiphora after the insertion of the VeraPlug,TM the occluder should be removed.

    Product Features

■ Washout
■ Punctal erosion

Each box contains two individually packaged sterile VeraPlugTM punctal occluders preloaded on inserters for single use only. The VeraPlugTM is manufactured from implant grant silicone. 

Proper Sizing

The VeraPlugTM punctal occluder is available in four sizes: small, medium, large and x-large. To determine the proper size, begin with the smallest VeraPlugTM gauge (0.5mm) and insert the head of the gauge into the punctal opening. The gauge should fit snugly with a small amount of resistance. If
the gauge enters the punctal opening with no resistance, the next larger size gauge should be tried in the same manner. Repeat this process until the proper size VeraPlugTM is determined based on the sizing chart shown.

Insertion

  1.  Anesthetize the area of the punctum with a topical anesthetic placed in the conjunctival sac.

  2. Apply a drop of saline solution or artificial tears onto the VeraPlugTM to help ease insertion.

  3. Position the insertion instrument by placing the forefinger on the release button of the inserter and placing the occluder end of the insertion instrument over the patient's (superior or inferior) punctum.

  4. Vertically insert the VeraPlugTM by positioning the occluder into the punctum until the cap is flush with the punctal opening. FIGURE A

  5. When the occluder is properly seated, depress the release button and withdraw the insertion instrument. FIGURE B

  6. Verify that the occluder is properly placed by confirming that the cap is flush with the punctal opening. FIGURE C After insertion, monitor the placement and integrity of the occluder to determine if/when the occluder may need to be replaced.
