How to Use Bstent®:

Simple Insertion & Removal

Suction the nasal cavity with soft suctions.

Lubricate the stent with antibiotic ointment of your choice.

Make sure the narrower portion of the tube section is facing up to follow the contour of the nostrils.

Beginning with the left nostril, gently advance the right arm of the stent posteriorly along the nasal floor until the entire arm is in the nose. Folded wings will open back into their original shapes inside the nose.

Gently insert the left arm of the device in the right nostril.

Gently advance the left and right nostril retainer portions of the device into the nostrils.

Surgeons typically leave the device in the nasal cavity up to ten (10) days.

To remove, grasp the portion connecting the right and left arms of the stent with forceps or fingers and gently withdraw.
