Erfecen Aluminum Nasal Splint – Plus Model

The Erfecen aluminum nasal splint Plus model is a malleable external nasal splint that supports and protects the nose after rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty and nasal fracture reduction. It is moulded directly onto the nasal dorsum to hold the new shape, limit swelling and protect the nose during the first days of healing.

What Is an Aluminum Nasal Splint?

An external nasal splint is placed on the outside of the nose at the end of surgery, usually over a layer of skin tape. The aluminum nasal splint combines a thin, bendable metal layer with a soft padded backing. The surgeon shapes it by hand to the patient’s nose, so it sits evenly over the bones and cartilage and keeps them in position while the tissues settle.

Features of the Erfecen Aluminum Nasal Splint

• Malleable aluminum: bends by hand to fit each nose precisely.
• Padded adhesive base: comfortable contact with the skin and secure hold.
• Plus model design: shaped to cover the nasal dorsum and side walls.
• Alcohol swab included: clean and degrease the skin before application.
• Individually packed: one splint per pack for hygienic use.
• Available designs: supplied in several colours and patterns [confirm options].

Why Use an Aluminum Nasal Splint After Rhinoplasty?

After rhinoplasty the nasal bones and soft tissues are mobile and prone to swelling. An aluminum nasal splint holds the new contour in place, spreads gentle, even pressure to help control oedema, and protects the nose from accidental knocks. Because it can be shaped in seconds, the surgeon can adapt it to any nose size and correct its fit at the end of the operation.

Comfort for the Patient

Patients often worry about wearing a splint after surgery. The thin profile and padded backing make this splint light and comfortable, and the range of designs lets clinics offer something a little more personal than a plain white splint. A well-fitted splint also makes the first post-operative days less stressful, because the nose is protected from accidental contact during sleep and daily activities.

Clinical Uses

It is suitable for:

• Rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty
• Closed reduction of nasal bone fractures
• Revision rhinoplasty
• Protection of the nose after nasal trauma

How to Use the Aluminum Nasal Splint

1. Clean the skin with the enclosed alcohol swab and let it dry.
2. Apply skin tape to the nasal dorsum if your protocol requires it.
3. Shape the aluminum nasal splint by hand to the contour of the nose.
4. Remove the backing and press the splint gently into place.
5. Remove and replace the splint as directed by the surgeon, usually after about one week.
