Abstract:
1. A lacrimal drainage manometer comprising: a syringe including a syringe body and a piston, said syringe body defining a fluid cavity in fluid communication with a cannula configured for insertion into at least a portion of a lacrimal drainage system, said piston for dispensing a fluid from said fluid cavity through said cannula; a pressure sensor operably coupled to said syringe and being configured to detect pressure fluid in said fluid cavity; a fluid flow rate mechanism coupled to said syringe, said fluid flow rate mechanism configured to measure the flow rate of fluid through said syringe; and a user feedback unit in electrical communication with each of said pressure sensor and said flow sensor, said user feedback unit being operably coupled to said syringe and configured to provide user feedback based on data from said pressure sensor and/or said fluid flow rate mechanism, said user feedback unit comprising a housing having an integrated display for providing said data to a user; wherein said housing is serially reusable with different syringes and a respective syringe is single-use disposable.
