Frequently asked questions
Does the hydrogel material ensure a secure fit?
Yes, the hydrogel material is specifically engineered for a precise, custom fit. Upon contact with the patient’s tear film, it undergoes a controlled 10-minute hydration process, expanding to conform perfectly to the unique anatomy of the canalicular cavity.
Is the plug comfortable for the patient once inserted?
Absolutely. Once the plug has completed its hydration phase, it transforms into a soft, pliable, and gelatinous material. This transition ensures the device remains comfortable for the patient while providing long-term, effective occlusion.
Is the application process efficient for clinical use?
The device is designed for professional efficiency. Each plug is pre-loaded on an integrated inserter, which streamlines the application procedure and ensures a controlled, professional deployment for every patient.
Is this device suitable for long-term occlusion needs?
Yes, the Form Fit plug is specifically designed for long-term occlusion of the canalicular cavity. Its hydrogel construction allows it to maintain a stable, secure position after it has fully expanded and conformed to the cavity.
Are these plugs sterile and safe for single use?
Yes, each plug is supplied in a sterile condition and is intended for single-patient use only. This ensures the highest standards of clinical hygiene and safety for every procedure.
Does the pre-loaded inserter offer good control?
The inserter features an ergonomic design with a specialized trigger mechanism. This allows medical professionals to maintain precise handling and manual control during the insertion and deployment process.
Does the plug require a complex fitting process?
No, the fitting is simplified by the hydrogel’s self-expanding nature. Because it adjusts to the patient’s specific anatomy as it hydrates, the clinician does not need to worry about complex manual sizing, as the ‘one size’ design accommodates the cavity through natural expansion.
What is the initial size of the plug before hydration?
Before the hydration process begins, the plug has a diameter of 0.3 mm, allowing for easy and non-invasive initial placement into the canalicular cavity.
Is this product designed for specialized ophthalmic environments?
Yes, the Form Fit plug is specifically intended for ophthalmic environments and clinics that perform professional tear management procedures, meeting the precise requirements of such clinical settings.
How long does the full expansion process take?
The plug requires a 10-minute hydration period to fully expand and achieve its final, soft, and gelatinous form, ensuring it is securely seated within the canalicular cavity.
