Abstract: A drug insert is configured for use with an implant. The implant is configured for insertion into a lacrimal canaliculus. The drug insert includes a drug core comprising a therapeutic agent and a polymer; and a sheath body comprising material substantially impermeable to the therapeutic agent, wherein the drug core is positioned within the sheath body. The sheath body is configured to provide an exposed end of the drug core that releases therapeutic agent to an eye when the drug insert is disposed within the implant and the implant is positioned in the lacrimal canaliculus. A distal end of the drug core is sealed with a medical-grade adhesive.
