FlexFit™ Instructions for Use

Sterile Preloaded Punctal Occlusion System

Important: Always refer to the insert in the box for the latest information.

Description

The VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ punctal occluder is designed to provide reduction or elimination of tear drainage through the inferior or superior puncta, thus maintaining lubricating tears on the surface of the eye. Each VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ punctal occluder is molded from medical-grade silicone. The VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ is available in four sizes (x-small, small, medium, and large) and is packaged sterile, two per box. Each occluder is sterile and preloaded on an inserter.

Indications for Use

The VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ is for use in patients with dry eye syndromes.

Contraindications

Contraindications include, but are not limited to: eye infections, sensitivity or allergies to the occluder material and/or materials used in the manufacture of the device, blockage or infection of the lacrimal systems, inflammation of the eyelid, and epiphora.

Precautions

The VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ may enhance the effect of ocular medications in the eye. Depending on the type of medication being used, the dose may need to be altered accordingly. If the patient experiences irritation, infection, or epiphora after the insertion of the VeraPlug™ FlexFit™, the occluder should be removed.

Potential Adverse Events

The following complications may occur:

  • Epiphora
  • Pyogenic granuloma
  • Foreign body sensation
  • Infection of the lacrimal system
  • Plug dislodgement or migration possibly requiring surgical intervention
  • Washout
  • Punctal erosion

Product Features

Each box contains two individually packaged sterile VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ punctal occluders preloaded on inserters for single use only. The VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ is manufactured from implant-grade silicone.

Proper Sizing

Proper sizing can be determined by using a 0.3 mm gauge. If the gauge tip is snug in the punctum, then a small size occluder is required. If there is no resistance to the gauge, then the next larger size should be tried. If resistance is extremely tight, an x-small size occluder should be used.

Insertion

  1. Anesthetize the area of the punctum with a topical anesthetic placed in the conjunctival sac.VeraPlug FlexFit insertion technique diagram showing Figures A through D
  2. Apply a drop of saline solution or artificial tears onto the VeraPlug™ to help ease insertion.
  3. Position the insertion instrument by placing the forefinger on the release button of the inserter and placing the occluder end of the insertion instrument over the patient's (superior or inferior) punctum.
  4. Vertically insert the VeraPlug™ by positioning the occluder into the punctum until the cap is flush with the punctal opening. (Figure A)
  5. When the occluder is properly seated, depress the release button and withdraw the insertion instrument. (Figure B)
  6. Verify that the occluder is properly placed by confirming that the cap is flush with the punctal opening. (Figure C) After insertion, monitor the placement and integrity of the occluder to determine if and when the occluder may need to be replaced.

Removal

Should removal be indicated, grasp the vertical shaft of the occluder underneath the exposed cap with sterile forceps. Gently pull upward until the plug is removed. (Figure D)

Sterilization

VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ sterile preloaded punctal occluders are offered in individual trays, two per box. The date of expiration should be confirmed prior to use. If the expiration date has lapsed, the occluder should be discarded.

Storage

Store at 15–30°C (59–86°F).

Warnings

The VeraPlug™ FlexFit™ punctal occluder is intended for single use. Do not reuse. If the sterile packaging is damaged or opened, sterility is not guaranteed and the VeraPlug™ should be discarded. U.S. federal law restricts the sale of this device by or on the order of a physician.

Documentation

Each box contains Instructions for Use and two labels for your ease and convenience.

Clinician Use Only: All products sold on AccuSpire.com should be used by a qualified clinician and should be purchased by or on the order of a qualified clinician.

Interesting Historical Information

History and Development of Punctal Plugs

 

1. Origins: The concept of punctal occlusion has been practiced for decades, initially using surgical techniques or improvised materials like cauterization or sutures. Punctal plugs as we know them today were developed in the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with increased awareness of dry eye syndrome and advances in polymer technology.
2. Milestones: The first silicone punctal plugs were introduced as a minimally invasive, reversible alternative to punctal cautery. Absorbable plugs emerged as a solution for temporary tear retention, allowing patients and doctors to evaluate the effectiveness of punctal occlusion before committing to permanent plugs.
3. Modern Advancements: Innovations include bio-degradable materials, extended-duration plugs, and advanced designs for easier insertion and better patient comfort. Plugs are now available in a range of sizes and materials to suit different anatomical needs and tear drainage conditions.

 

Interesting Facts About Punctal Plugs

 

1. Reversible Treatment: Punctal plugs provide a non-surgical, reversible alternative to permanent tear drainage occlusion techniques like cautery.
2. Custom Fit: Plugs come in various diameters to fit the punctal anatomy precisely, ensuring effective tear retention without discomfort.

3. Minimal Invasiveness: The insertion procedure is quick and painless, often performed in a clinic setting with minimal preparation.
4. Improved Compliance: Patients often find punctal plugs more convenient than frequent use of artificial tears, especially for severe dry eye cases.
