Punctum Dilator

Punctum dilators are essential ophthalmic instruments used to gently enlarge the lacrimal punctum for diagnostic or therapeutic access to the tear drainage system. Commonly utilized in procedures such as lacrimal irrigation, probing, and silicone tube intubation, these precision tools help facilitate smooth entry into the canaliculus without causing trauma to surrounding tissues. Crafted from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, punctum dilators are autoclavable, corrosion-resistant, and designed for repeated use in sterile environments. They typically feature a double-ended or tapered design for gradual dilation and are available in various sizes to accommodate adult and pediatric patients. The ergonomic handle ensures controlled, non-slip use during delicate lacrimal procedures. Ideal for ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, and ENT specialists, punctum dilators are a critical tool in the diagnosis and treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction and other tear drainage disorders, offering precision, safety, and ease of use.
