Development of a Bioresorbable Implant for Nasal Valve Collapse
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 09
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to report outcomes after treatment of nasal valve collapse with a bioabsorbable nasal implant. Nasal obstruction is a main occurrence of breathing difficulties, with lateral wall insufficiency (LWI) playing a crucial role. Abioabsorbable nasal implant was recently introduced to treat nasal blockage and rectify lateral wall insufficiency. In this study, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate bioabsorbable nasal implant efficacy in treating nasal obstruction following reconstructive or rehabilitation surgery. A bioresorbable nasal implant is "Y" shaped implant which has inserted into the lateral wall of nose to provide support for unobstructed air-flow. As implant is absorbed by the body, collagen and fresh tissue will give strength after degradation of implant. The implant can be coated with any therapeutic agent to prevent post-implantation consequences i.e. inflammation or infection
