| abstract |
The invention relates to a monocanaliculonasal and/or monocanalicular intubation assembly mainly intended for nasolacrimal imperforation, comprising a mandrel (2) made of a first essentially rigid material such as a metal, and a tube (1) made of a second material that is essentially less rigid than the first one and essentially flexible, mainly silicone, a blocking plug (6) for blocking the tube in position in the lacrimal duct and protruding laterally from the tube, characterised in that the length dimension of the tube (1) is smaller than the length dimension of the mandrel (2) and in that the mandrel has a thickness, as measured in a direction perpendicular to the length direction, relative to that of the tube (1) such that it can be inserted inside the tube and withdrawn therefrom. |
