Lacrimal Dilators

The Castroviejo lacrimal dilator is a precision double-ended probe for canalicular and nasolacrimal duct surgery. The fine 0.25mm needle point initiates delicate canalicular pathways, while the 0.75mm taper end dilates the duct systematically without tearing the mucosal lining. Its knurled handle ensures steady tactile feedback.

Features & Benefits

• Double-ended design: needle point and taper for systematic dilation
• 0.25mm and 0.75mm tips match graduated canalicular anatomy
• Knurled round handle prevents slip during delicate dissection
• Ideal for primary and secondary canalicular obstruction

This infant lacrimal dilator uses a 3.15mm diameter shaft with a long round knurled handle for controlled dilation of pediatric lacrimal passages. The configuration supports steady axial advancement during probing.

Features & Benefits

• 3.15mm diameter dilator shaft provides controlled dilation
• Long round knurled handle ensures stable advancement
• Suitable for pediatric lacrimal probing
• Geometry supports axial control and depth modulation
• Precision configuration uniquely matched to 11‑8‑3111‑LH

This infant lacrimal dilator opens the punctum and proximal canaliculus before probing in pediatric patients. The 3.2mm round knurled handle gives fingertip purchase for gentle controlled rotation, and the 80mm body keeps the working tip close to the lid margin for steady advancement.

Features & Benefits

• Tapered shaft dilates infant punctum atraumatically
• 3.2mm knurled handle supports fingertip rotation
• Compact 80mm length stays close to lid margin
• Sized for pediatric canalicular access

Castroviejo lacrimal dilators pair a needle point on one end with a medium taper on the other, allowing the surgeon to initiate punctal entry with the fine point and complete dilation with the graduated taper. The round knurled handle promotes controlled rotation across a 140mm overall length.

Features & Benefits

• Needle‑point end initiates punctal entry
• Medium‑taper end completes graded dilation
• Round knurled handle improves rotational control
• 140mm length suits two‑hand lacrimal positioning

The Hosford lacrimal dilator combines an abrupt taper at 2mm from the end with a more gradual taper above it, allowing rapid initial punctal entry followed by progressive widening of the canalicular opening. Its double‑ended format offers two working profiles on a single 140mm round knurled handle, supporting predictable preparation for probing or intubation.

Features & Benefits

• Abrupt taper 2mm from end for fast punctal entry
• Gradual upper taper for progressive canalicular dilation
• Double‑ended format provides two working profiles
• Round knurled handle improves tactile rotation control

Muldoon lacrimal dilators open the punctum and proximal canaliculus through a medium 27mm taper with a straight distal end. The tapered shaft enlarges the lumen progressively as the surgeon advances, easing entry of subsequent probes or intubation sets. A round knurled handle rotates smoothly between the fingers during dilation.

Features & Benefits

• Medium 27mm taper dilates the punctum progressively
• Straight distal end simplifies canalicular entry
• Round knurled handle rotates between the fingertips
• 100mm length suited to lacrimal duct workflows

Compact at 70mm overall, the Ruedemann lacrimal dilator pairs a short 12mm taper with a needle‑type tip for initial punctal entry. The round smooth handle allows fine rotational control as the surgeon engages the punctum. The short taper suits early dilation steps before progressing to a larger instrument.

Features & Benefits

• Short 12mm taper for initial punctal engagement
• Needle‑type tip enters tight or stenotic puncta
• Round smooth handle supports fine rotation
• 70mm length keeps the working tip close to the hand

The Wilder lacrimal dilator carries a long 32mm taper with a blunt tip for graduated punctal and canalicular dilation. A round knurled handle and 100mm overall length give the surgeon tactile feedback while advancing through the lacrimal passage. The blunt distal profile reduces the risk of false passage during dilation prior to probing or irrigation.

Features & Benefits

• Long 32mm taper for graduated canalicular dilation
• Blunt tip reduces risk of false passage
• Round knurled handle gives tactile rotational control
• 100mm overall length suits comfortable lacrimal access

The Wilder lacrimal dilator carries a medium 23mm taper with a blunt tip, sized for progressive opening of the punctum and proximal canaliculus. A straight shaft tracks the natural canalicular path, and the round knurled handle supports controlled rotation during dilation. Overall length is 100mm for close work at the lid margin.

Features & Benefits

• 23mm medium taper for progressive punctal dilation
• Blunt tip reduces risk of false passage
• Round knurled handle for controlled rotation
• 100mm length suits close work at the lid margin

Built for early lacrimal punctum work, this Wilder dilator carries a short 19mm taper that progresses from a blunt tip into a gradual cone to dilate the punctum and proximal canaliculus before probing or irrigation. The round knurled handle improves grip during rotational advancement, and the 101mm length keeps the working axis close to the lid margin.

Features & Benefits

• Short 19mm taper for graduated punctal dilation
• Blunt tip enters the punctum without false passage
• Round knurled handle assists rotational advancement
• 101mm length suits canalicular access

Double‑ended for sequential sizing, the Ziegler lacrimal dilator carries gently curved probe tips on each end to open the punctum and canaliculus before irrigation or intubation. The round knurled handle supports fine rotational control during dilation, and the 135mm overall length keeps the working tips at the lid margin without crowding the field.

Features & Benefits

• Double‑ended dilator probes for sequential punctal sizing
• Gently curved tips follow the canalicular path
• Round knurled handle for fine rotational control
• 135mm overall length keeps tips clear of the field
