Description
Sterile Preloaded Punctal Occlusion System
The VeraPlugTM FlexFitTM 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 VeraPlugTM FlexFitTM punctal occluder is molded from medical grade silicone. The VeraPlugTM FlexFitTM is available in four sizes (x-small, small, medium, and large) and is packaged sterile, two per box. Each occluder is sterile, preloaded on an inserter.

Proper Sizing
Proper sizing can be determined by using a 0.3mm 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
- Anesthetize the area of the punctum with a topical anesthetic placed in the conjunctival sac.
- Apply a drop of saline solution or artificial tears onto the VeraPlugTM to help ease insertion.
- 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.
- Vertically insert the VeraPlugTM by positioning the occluder into the punctum until the cap is flush with the punctal opening.
