    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Nasal packing is crucial for managing epistaxis and post-surgical care.
    • Existing nasal packing materials have limitations, including difficulty in removal and potential mucosal reactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified Telfa dressing as an effective anterior nasal packing.
    • To evaluate the advantages of Telfa compared to traditional nasal packing materials.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of an absorbent, non-adherent material (Telfa) for nasal packing.
    • Clinical application in over 800 patients undergoing procedures for anterior epistaxis, septal, and rhinoplastic surgery over three years.

    Main Results:

    • The modified Telfa packing demonstrated satisfactory ease of introduction and removal.

  • The material contoured effectively to the nasal cavity, providing a tamponade effect without prolapse or adverse mucosal reactions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Modified Telfa is a highly effective and safe anterior nasal packing material.
    • Its properties make it suitable for managing anterior epistaxis and in septal and rhinoplastic surgery.
