Abstract:
Disclosed in certain embodiments is an intracanalicular injectable applicator device includes a body forming a cavity and a cannula coupled to a first distal end of the body. The cannula forms a channel that is aligned with the cavity of the body. The cannula is configured to store an intracanalicular injectable in the channel. The intracanalicular injectable applicator device further includes a tip structure coupled to the body. The tip structure is disposed around at least a portion of the cannula. A distal end of the tip structure is configured to dilate a lacrimal punctum by inserting the distal end of the tip structure into the canaliculus via the lacrimal punctum. The intracanalicular injectable applicator device further includes an actuating structure configured to push the intracanalicular injectable through the channel and the distal end of the tip structure into a canaliculus via a lacrimal punctum.
