ASSEMBLY FOR INSERTING A PROBE INTO THE LACRIMAL CANAL BY PUSHING FROM THE SIDE OF THE EYE
First Claim
1. Monocanaliculonasal and/or monocanalicular intubation assembly intended in particular for lacrimonasal imperforation comprising:
- a probe (1) made of a first material, in particular a flexible material such as silicone, the probe having a substantially cylindrical shape, for example circular cylindrical or elliptical cylindrical, along a longitudinal axis, andinsertion means for inserting the probe into a lacrimal canal or canaliculus, characterised in that the insertion means comprise;
an insertion tube (10) made of a rigid material such as a metal, having a distal end opening and a proximal end opening, the tube having a shape and size enabling it to receive the probe therein; and
pushing means (20) for pushing the probe and expelling said probe from the insertion tube by the distal end opening.
