This nasolacrimal catheter has been extremely successful and is now the standard technique in the author's hands. It is simpler, faster, and more successful than other methods of maintaining nasal ostium patency in DCR surgery. It is well tolerated by the patient and is easily removed in the office setting. The Griffiths Nasolacrimal Catheter is available from BD Visitec (Franklin Lakes, NJ) in the Standard size (12-mm collar) and the Pediatric/Endonasal size (8-mm collar). The author has no financial interest in this device. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
