1. New shape for an old device: A punctal plug that better fits into the punctum.

Author

Charters, Lynda and Latkany, Robert

Subjects
*DRY eye syndromes, *FOREIGN bodies
Abstract

A new punctal plug, called the Soft Plug Extended Duration 180, has been developed by Dr. Robert Latkany to address the complications associated with existing silicone plugs and temporary plugs used to treat dry eye. The new plug is larger in size, tapered at one end, and slightly wider at 0.6 mm in diameter. This design allows for easier insertion and better fit into most punctal openings. The plug is made of an absorbable synthetic material and has been approved for use in the US, with international approval pending. [Extracted from the article]
