ABSTRACT:
An intubation device is disclosed for use with a light source for the reconstruction of the lacrimal ducts of a patient. The device comprises a first and a second base each being suitable for attachment to the light source. A first and second probe each having a proximal end and a distal end comprise light conducting means to permit the transmission of light along the interior length of the probes between the proximal ends and the distal ends. The proximal ends of the first and second probes are respectively connected to the first and second bases to permit entry of light from the light source to the proximal ends of the first and second probes. A flexible translucent tubing means having a first and a second sheath portions and an intermediate portion enables the first and second sheath portions to removably encompass the first and second probes. The first and second probes and sheath portions are insertable into the lacrimal ducts of the patient with the distal ends of the first and second sheath portions being luminating by the light source to aid in the location thereof in the nasal cavity of the patient. The first and second sheaths are removable from the probes enabling the distal ends of the sheath portions to be pulled from the nasal cavity to position the intermediate portion into the lacrimal duct of the patient.
