Abstract
Lacrimal canalicular delivery systems (LCDS) and their methods of use for the delivery of implants at a specific location into the canaliculus of a subject generally include a lumen, a guide wire, and an implant. The guide wire and implant are within the lumen. When pressure is applied to the guide wire, the guide wire pushes the implant out of the lumen into a specific location into the canaliculus of a subject.
