An improved obturator for a defect of the nasal septum

An improved technique for treating an intranasal septal perforation defect has been described, including an impression method using Silastic 382 medical grade elastomer. A clear, polished acrylic resin obturator is fabricated with retrieval holes and an orientation guide. This type of intraseptal nasal obturator is comfortable and can alleviate symptoms created by nasal septal defects.
