Soft Plug Extended Duration 180-T Tapered Plugs

The Soft Plug Extended Duration 180-T Tapered Canalicular Plugs from Oasis Medical are a medium term plug (up to 6 months) designed to be inserted through the punctal opening into the canaliculus in order to block tear drainage through the lacrimal drainage system. This residency time falls between the absorbable collagen plugs, which are completely absorbed after several days, and the permanent intracanalicular plug, which is designed to remain in the canaliculum indefinitely.

Indications: The SOFT PLUG® Extended Duration 180-T Tapered Canalicular Plugs are intended to temporarily block tear drainage by the occlusion of the canaliculus in order to:

• Temporarily treat dry eye syndrome, and the dry eye components of various ocular surface diseases
• Temporarily enhance the efficacy of topical medications or ocular lubricants
• Temporarily treat contact lens intolerance secondary to dry eye
• Temporarily treat dry eye after ocular surgery
• Determine the potential effectiveness of permanent occlusion

SOFT PLUG Extended Duration 180-T Tapered Canalicular Plugs are made from an absorbable synthetic material called polydioxanone. They are .25 mm diameter at the tapered point, .6 mm at the widest point, and 2 mm in length. The plugs are supplied sterile, two plugs per package in foam holders, so that a plug can be placed into each canaliculus.
