BVI Parasol A14-203BN Punctal Occluder - Large 0.9mm+ Bulk Pack

BVI Parasol Punctal Occluder | Large (0.9mm+) | Bulk Packaging

The BVI Parasol (Ref: A14-203BN) is the industry-standard solution for permanent (long-term) punctal occlusion in patients with larger-than-average punctal openings. Specifically engineered for fits of 0.9mm and wider, the Parasol is renowned for its patented design that achieves some of the highest retention rates in ophthalmology.

The "BN" designation indicates Bulk Non-Sterile packaging (typically provided as pairs), offering a streamlined, cost-effective inventory solution for high-volume clinics managing chronic Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye.

Key Performance Features

• Engineered for Large Puncta: While standard plugs often fail in wider openings, the Large Parasol provides a secure, "pop-out" resistant seal for punctal diameters 0.9mm and above.

• Patented Parasol Geometry: The unique umbrella-style head is designed to sit flush against the eyelid margin. This low-profile fit significantly reduces the foreign body sensation and "rubbing" irritation common with traditional mushroom-style plugs.

• Self-Anchoring Design: The flexible silicone nose is designed to collapse during insertion and expand immediately once inside the canal. This provides a secure anchor that holds the plug firmly in place without requiring aggressive dilation of the punctum.

• Easy Insertion & Removal: Despite its high retention, the plug is designed for simple, atraumatic insertion by the clinician and can be easily removed with forceps if the patient’s tear film requirements change.

Clinical Advantages

• Increased Patient Compliance: The ultra-smooth silicone and flush-mount head improve long-term comfort, making it ideal for patients who have been sensitive to other occluders.

• Cost Efficiency: The bulk packaging format reduces per-unit costs and excess waste, making it the preferred choice for dedicated Dry Eye Centers of Excellence.

• Superior Retention: Specifically designed to resolve "pop-out" issues in patients whose punctal anatomy is too large for standard "one-size-fits-all" plugs.

Ideal Applications

• Chronic Dry Eye Management: The primary treatment for aqueous deficiency to preserve natural and artificial tears.

• Large Puncta Anatomy: The go-to solution for patients where standard 0.6mm or 0.7mm plugs are insufficient.
