    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Nasal septal deviation can cause significant breathing issues.
    • Current splints may have limitations in terms of tolerance and effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel malleable nasal septal splint.
    • To describe its design features for improved septal stabilization and nasal valve function.

    Main Methods:

    • A malleable splint designed to hold the septum midline and depress the floor of the nasal inlet.
    • Features include laterally curved pedestals for secure seating and tolerance.
    • Additional splints can be attached for extended reach.

    Main Results:

    • The splint effectively holds the septum in the midline.
    • It depresses the floor of the inlet without blunting nasal valves.
    • The design allows for firm seating and good patient tolerance.
    • A modification supports nasal bones, obviating the need for nasal packing.

    Conclusions:

    • This malleable nasal septal splint offers a well-tolerated and effective solution for septal stabilization.
    • Its design addresses limitations of existing devices, including support for nasal bones.
    • The splint provides a versatile tool for managing septal irregularities and related complications.
