The invention concerns a meatus plug for lachrymal canal capable of being screwed, consisting of a substantially cylindrical body (1) whose side surface comprises a helical thread similar to that of a screw for placing or removing the meatus plug by screwing or unscrewing with a tool having a polygonal or cruciform blade used as a screwdriver, the plug comprising or not a through conduit for the passage of a predetermined flow of lachrymal fluid. It is designed for controlling the flow of tears running on the surface of the eye towards the nasal cavity through the lachrymal canals or ducts.
La présente invention a pour objet un tampon méatique vissable pour canal
lacrymal. Il est constitué d'un corps (1) sensiblement cylindrique dont la
surface latérale comporte un filet hélicoïdal semblable à celui d'une vis
permettant de mettre en place ou de retirer le tampon méatique par vissage ou
dévissage à l'aide d'un outil à lame polygonale ou cruciforme utilisé comme un
tournevis, le tampon comportant ou non un conduit traversant axial permettant
le passage d'un débit déterminé de fluide lacrymal. Il est destiné à contrôler
le flux de larmes s'écoulant de la surface de l'oeil vers les fosses nasales
