FCI — Lacrimal Stents, Lacrimal Tubes, Self-Retaining Stents, and Other Lacrimal Duct Surgery Devices
FCI Ophthalmics provides lacrimal stents and tubes for the comprehensive treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction in both infants and adults. FCI is a world leader in the research and development of devices used in lacrimal duct surgery. Along with the bicanalicular and monocalicular stents, FCI has also developed self-retaining stents to help physicians more easily perform lacrimal duct obstruction surgery.
If you would like to learn more about self-retaining stents, lacrimal tubes, and other products developed for the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction, contact FCI Ophthalmics. One of our friendly and knowledgeable representatives can provide additional information or help you with your order.

Transnasal Lacrimal Stent
Transnasal lacrimal stents from FCI Ophthalmics address the limitations previously encountered with balloon catheter DCR and other forms of endoscopic DCR. The stent’s largest diameter rests in the ostium and lacrimal sac. Inserted through the nose, the lacrimal stent’s largest portion does not pass through the canaliculi.
- Designed by Bruce B. Becker, M.D.
- For epiphora treated by DCR
- Silicone, stainless steel
- S1-1350u
S1-1351u - 3 sets per box, sterile
1 set per box, sterile
Set Includes:
Lacrimal stent: 264 mm silicone multi-diameter stent with embedded short metal probe
Sheath/conduit: 170 mm polyetherimide tube used to introduce rod into lacrimal system and pull the transnasal lacrimal stent up through the nose and out of the canaliculus.
Metal rod: 175 mm stainless steel rod with blunt end
Wide / Medium Collarette Monoka
The Wide / Medium Collarette Monoka stent is securely anchored at the punctum by the plug. No knots or sutures are necessary. FCI Ophthalmics has designed the Wide and Medium Collarett Monoka stents to effectively treat congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction and canalicular stenosis.

Ritleng Bicanaliculus Intubation
Both the Ritleng Bicanaliculus Intubation and Self-Threading Monoka devices from FCI utilize PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) as a thread guide to reduce time and trauma in lacrimal duct intubation surgery. The procedure involves inserting the hollow Ritleng Probe into the nasolacrimal duct and feeding a thin PEEK thread guide through it. The probe is then withdrawn, leaving the PEEK to pull the silicone tubing into place.
- Designed by P. Ritleng, M.D.
- For canalicular stenosis
- Silicone, black PEEK thread guide
- Silicone tubing (Length: 300 mm, Diameter: 0.64 mm)

Ritleng Probe Procedure
In the Ritleng Probe procedure, the probe is backed out of the lacrimal ducts and separated from the PEEK thread guide at its thinner section (the lighter portion of the thread) by sliding it out from the open slit that lines the entire length of the probe.
