Product Features

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

Proper Sizing

Proper sizing can be determined by using a 0.3mm gauge. If the gauge tip is snug in the punctum, then a small size occluder is required. If there is no resistance to the gauge then the next larger size should be tried. If resistance is extremely tight, an x-small size occluder should be used.

Insertion

Anesthetize the area of the punctum with a topical anesthetic placed in the conjunctival sac.
Apply a drop of saline solution or artificial tears onto the VeraPlugTM to help ease insertion.
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.
Vertically insert the VeraPlugTM by positioning the occluder into the punctum until the cap is flush with the punctal opening. FIGURE A
When the occluder is properly seated, depress the release button and withdraw the insertion instrument. FIGURE B
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.

Removal

Should removal be indicated, grasp the vertical shaft of the occluder underneath the exposed cap with sterile forceps. Gently pull upward until the plug is removed. FIGURE D above
