Abstract
The authors describe the use of a teflon catheter as an intracanalicular stent in order to increase its accessability to ophthalmologists.The technique is based on the identification of the canalicular borders followed by the introduction of a teflon catheter (22 or 24) into the canalicular lumen. Three full-thickness sutures are placed at the canaliculum using a 8-0 mononylon or a 8-0 vicryl. This technique can be used in cases of non-complicated lacerations, in which catheterization is still possible.
