[Non-traumatic method of intubation of the lacrimal duct using a silicone tube: synergism between the ophthalmologist and the anesthetist].

The authors evaluate an atraumatic catheterisation of the lacrymal system by using a prolene silastic intubation and a standard nasal aspiration probe. After recovery of both prolene end and nasal probe out of the throat the prolene was threaded into the aspiration probe and both were taken off back out of the nose.
