Paraseptal splint for use in surgical nasal septoplasty and septovalvuloplasty

摘要

A paraseptal splint for use in surgical nasal septoplasties and septovalvuloplasties. The splint comprises a laminar body made of biocompatible material which has a posterior portion meant to be arranged paraseptally in the nasal fossa and, in the medioposterior septal region, and an anterior wing meant to be arranged in the vestibular region, in the valvular region and in the anterior septal portion of the nose. The anterior wing has an anterosuperior portion which is pre-folded, or meant to be folded, with respect to the plane of arrangement of the remaining part of the laminar body, at an angle which corresponds to the anatomical angle between the septal cartilage and the triangular cartilage in the valvular region of the nose.
