A modified nasal septal button prosthesis offers a superior alternative to traditional buttons for treating nasal septal perforations. Its flexible design enhances adaptability and conformity for improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Symptomatic nasal septal perforations often require intervention.
  • Nasal septal button prostheses are established non-surgical treatment options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel modified nasal septal button prosthesis.
  • To compare the advantages of the modified button over conventional designs.

Main Methods:

  • The modified nasal septal button features a flexible hub and tapered, flexible disks.
  • Customization options include adjustable disk size and asymmetry.

Main Results:

  • The flexible hub provides enhanced plasticity and adaptability.
  • The tapered, umbrella-shaped disks allow for superior conformity to the nasal septum.
