Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Devices
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Severe epistaxis often requires post-nasal packing using a Foley catheter.
  • Existing methods for securing Foley catheters can cause patient discomfort, alar necrosis, and are unsightly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new, improved method for securing Foley catheters in post-nasal packing.
  • To address the limitations of current Foley catheter securing techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A novel technique involving tying ribbon gauze in multiple knots over the Foley catheter was employed.
  • This method integrates with existing anterior nasal packing procedures.

Main Results:

  • The new method effectively secures the Foley catheter without causing the aforementioned complications.
