ALISO VIEJO, Calif. -- Bausch + Lomb Instruments for Ophthalmology,
Ear, Nose, Throat and Plastic Surgery announced the launch of the
Putterman Consecutive Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy Set in
the United States. Designed by Dr. Allen M. Putterman of Chicago,
Illinois, this set is designed to form the CDCR osteum and place
the bypass tube without withdrawal and reinsertion of instruments
during each step of the procedure.
The set includes three instruments: a needle, trephine and probe.
The needle is designed to create the initial track with the
trephine used to slide over the needle to create the osteum. The
needle is removed and the Bowman-type probe is inserted through the
trephine. The trephine is then removed and the probe is used to
measure the distance from medial canthus to nasal septum.
The probe features marks in 5.0 mm intervals from the tip to 15.0
mm, in 1.0 mm intervals from 15.0 mm to 25.0 mm, and again in 5.0
mm intervals from 25.0 mm to 35.0 mm.
