The company’s proprietary products include the Dissolvable VisiPlug Lacrimal Plug that provides medium-term Occlusion Therapy lasting approximately 180 days and the OPAQUE Herrick Lacrimal Plug for long-term Occlusion Therapy. Both of these products feature the exclusive and patented VisiPlug Technology. The VisiPlug Technology enables the presence and location of these products after insertion using a simple light source.
Lacrimedics pioneered the development of the Lacrimal Efficiency Test with Collagen Plugs. This simple test is effective at determining if a person suffering from Dry Eye would benefit from Occlusion Therapy.tuy
