[The process of manufacturing splints for the nose after nasal tip surgery (author's transl)]

The process of manufacturing splints for the nose after nasal tip surgery falls into three catagories: impressions, moulding and insertion. The plastic ware is carried out in a dental laboratory, so as to help the surgeon who is less familiar with the preparation of the material. The special procedure of moulding is suitable for this purpose. The splints are favourable in regard of cosmetics and tissue compatibility.
