ABSTRACT:
A medicinal, substantially elliptically shaped insert is easily placed into, or removed from, the eye by a wand-like instrument. The instrument has an elongated stem which is held in the hand, generally between the thumb and index finger. One end of the stem supports an applicator portion. The applicator portion carries the insert by wet adhesion and generally conforms to, and is aligned with, the substantially elliptical shape of the insert. This configuration allows for the ease of placement of the insert transversely across the eyelid or sclerotic portion of the eye. On an opposite, or distal end of the stem, is a swab-like section for the removal of the insert from the eye. The swab-like section contains, or is coated with, an adhesive material, which when placed in contact with the insert, will easily lift the insert from the eye.
