AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing nasal conformers suffer from poor retention and patient discomfort due to inadequate anatomical adaptation, leading to frequent repositioning and compromised surgical outcomes in rhinoplasty, particularly in cheilorhinoplasty, which can result in aesthetic and functional impairments.

Method used

A nasal conformer design featuring nasal cannulas with profiled sections to fit the nasal vestibule and cannula bosses positioned at the soft triangle for improved retention, combined with a facial collar that covers the nose to stabilize the device, using biocompatible materials like silicone or polyurethane, and customizable to fit various anatomies.

Benefits of technology

Enhances retention and patient comfort by minimizing displacement, ensuring proper nasal conformation and ventilation, reducing the need for frequent adjustments, and promoting healing.
