Collapse for the upper lateral cartilage is associated with narrowing of the internal nasal valve, reducing nasal airflow. The ALAR™ Nasal Valve Stent and Surgical Technique provides a novel method to address nasal valve stenosis and can be done in conjunction with septoplasty and tubinoplasty
Collapse for the upper lateral cartilage is associated with narrowing of the internal nasal valve, reducing nasal airflow. The ALAR™ Nasal Valve Stent and Surgical Technique provides a novel method to address nasal valve stenosis and can be done in conjunction with septoplasty and tubinoplasty. The stent is easily deployed following repositioning of the cartilages, holds the tissue in place during the healing process, and is removed in approximately 10 days. Benefits of the procedure include no external incision; no permanent implant; and no donor cartilage.
