BstentTM Conjoint
Nasal Stent
Features & Benefits
- Made from biocompatible, medical grade silicone, BstentTM provides septum support and permits potential nasal breathing post-septorhinoplasty.
- Softer medical grade silicone material is more comfortable for patients than more rigid alternatives.
- Tapered, anatomically designed breathing passage allows for easy insertion.
- Flange on the anterior end of the nostril retainer is designed to rest on the front of the nostril, preventing the device from being inserted too far into the nostril and helping to secure BstentTM without the use of stitches.
- Flexible connector between each nostril retainer and septal splint facilitates optimal positioning of the nasal splint and makes BstentTM adaptable to a wide range of anatomical variations.
- Anatomically shaped nostril retainers more effectively eliminate dead space in the nasal vestibule which may cause supra-alar fullness and widening of the tip. Additionally, the nostril retainers may reduce likelihood of nostril collapse during healing. They also comprise anatomically designed bulges which may resist unintended extraction.
- Conjoint structure negates the need for additional sutures and prevents migration.
- The 2 arms of BstentTM are connected by a bowed joining structure to rest on the columella without compressing its circulation, which facilitates removal of the device by medical staff or even patients following physician instruction, without any tools and minimal patient discomfort.
- The plates of BstentTM reduce the potential for synechia after open turbinectomy.
