Erfecen Retainer Splint – Internal Nasal Splint

The Erfecen Retainer Splint is a patented nasal retainer splint made of soft, transparent silicone. It is placed inside the nose after septoplasty and rhinoplasty to support the septum, keep the nasal passages open and help prevent adhesions while the tissues heal.

What Is a Nasal Retainer Splint?

Internal nasal splints are thin silicone sheets placed on each side of the nasal septum at the end of surgery. They hold the septum in the midline, protect the mucosa and reduce the risk of scar bands forming between the septum and the side wall of the nose. The Erfecen nasal retainer splint has an anatomical, precision-moulded design developed and patented by Erfecen.

Features of the Erfecen Retainer Splint

• Soft medical silicone: gentle on the nasal mucosa
• Transparent: easy to check position and the mucosa underneath.
• Anatomical shape: follows the contour of the septum and nasal floor.
• Internal channel design: precision-moulded profile shown in the detail image
• Patented design: developed and patented by Erfecen.
• Smooth surfaces: for easier insertion and removal.

Why Use a Nasal Retainer Splint?

After septal surgery the septum is soft and can drift out of position, and raw mucosal surfaces can stick together. A nasal retainer splint keeps the septum straight and separates the healing surfaces. Its soft silicone and smooth edges make insertion and removal more comfortable for the patient.

Designed for Comfort and Easy Removal

Removal of internal splints is one of the moments patients fear most after septal surgery. The smooth, flexible silicone and rounded edges of this splint are designed to slide out easily, with less discomfort and less disturbance of the healing mucosa. The transparent material also lets the surgeon see the mucosa underneath at follow-up visits without removing the splint. Its consistent, moulded shape also means every splint fits the same way, which makes the procedure more predictable for the surgical team.

Clinical Uses

It is suitable for:

• Septoplasty
• Septorhinoplasty
• Turbinate surgery
• Prevention of intranasal adhesions

How to Use the Nasal Retainer Splint

1. Choose the correct size and trim if required
2. Insert the nasal retainer splint along the septum on each side.
3. Secure it with a trans-septal suture if your technique requires.
4. Remove the splint as directed by the surgeon, usually after 5 to 10 days.
