Abstract:
The authors present a very simple and very comfortable splinting device for use after rhinoplasty. It consists of a splint made from malleable plastic which can be moulded by soaking in water at 60 degrees C, allowing perfect modelling to the shape of the nose. This splint is held in place by means of Velcro bands which offer remarkable flexibility of use.
