Indication

• Radio-opaque for safety.

Usage 

The splint is held lengthways between the finger and the thumb, of both hands, and rolled together to produce a ‘tube’. The larger end of this splint is then introduced into the nose and, upon release, will open due to the elastic qualities of silicone. The splints may be fixed in situ by suturing, or passing a ribbon through the hole and attaching this to the patient’s clothing. For a firmer nasal pack, where patency of airway is less important, the splint may be packed with ribbon gauze after insertion.
