Nasal retainer ( by Pharmacleft)
When to use a nostril retainer?
Nasal retainers are used after cleft lip surgery and/or nose operations (rhinoplasty/septoplasty). It is used after the lip closing operation of cleft lip patients to create a more centered nose tip and prevent collapsing of the nostrils. It is also used after rhinoplasty or septoplasty to maintain the operative results after surgery. It helps to center the nose and lift the nostrils. It is also often used with asymetrical nostrils.
What size(s) to order?
For use with (cleft) children (size 1 -> 5)
The Pharmacleft Nasal retainer is specifically designed for use with cleft lip patients, mostly children. It has a special curved design, shapes the nasal dome in a natural centered position and creates good airflow at the same time. The curved design is patentprotected and enhances the symmetrical shape of the nostrils. It is made of a special biocompatible silicone that combines optimal user comfort (soft touch) with enough resilience to shape the nose.
For use after Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty with adults (size 7 -> 11). Most adults have a size 6 or 7.
