INFANT TEAR DUCT CLAMP
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
During eye exams for premature newborns medication and eye drops routinely administered. When these medications flow through the tear ducts they can cause numerous side effects. To prevent these side effects nurses in the NICU have to manually pinch the tear ducts closed during and after the exams. This takes up valuable time they could use to care for other infants.
Working with a NICU nurse this simple clamp was created to do the same job. Allowing nurses to care for other infants while preventing side effects can get infants home with their families sooner.
