SmartPLUG™ by Medennium
I-MED Pharma is the exclusive distributor of the SmartPLUG™ from Medennium. SmartPLUG™ from Medennium is designed to fit a wide range of punctum sizes and provide comfortable and effective long-term occlusion of the punctum. Made of an innovative thermosensitive, hydrophobic acrylic polymer, SmartPLUG™ conforms to the exact shape and size of the punctum for a precise, comfortable fit. Unlike rigid silicone plugs with exposed heads, SmartPLUG™ has no protruding cap that can irritate and cause discomfort.
- SmartPLUG™ is a thin, rigid ~ 6 mm acrylic rod in length and .4mm in diameter before placement into the undilated punctum at room temperature or topical anesthesia is optional.
- Once inside the punctum and in contact with body temperature, SmartPLUG™ shrinks in length and expands in width, reshaping itself into a soft, gel-like plug.
- SmartPLUG™ accommodates to fit a range of puncta, eliminating the need for measurement and stocking different size plugs.
- Once in place, SmartPLUG™ does not protrude from the punctum, making it more aesthetically pleasing for the patient.
- The material and design of SmartPLUG™ eliminates the need for the head and anchor found on rigid silicone plugs, decreasing the potential for irritation of sensitive tissues.
- SmartPLUG™ cannot be rubbed out. If desired, it can be removed by irrigation.
- SmartPLUG™ simplifies inventory management and eliminates product waste.
