LACRIMAL IMPLANTS INCLUDING SPLIT AND INSERTABLE DRUG CORE

摘要

Lacrimal implants providing secure, wedgable retention within a lacrimal punctum and associated canaliculus of an eye are disclosed. The lacrimal implants can comprise an implant body, including first and second portions, extending from a proximal end of the first portion to a distal end of the second portion. The second portion includes a retention projection. The implant body can also include a cavity longitudinally extending from the proximal end of the first portion toward the second portion, wherein the cavity is shaped and sized to receive an insertable actuator, and wherein the retention projection is configured to bias outward or change orientation when the insertable actuator is seated within the cavity.
