Intranasal splints are temporary medical devices inserted through the nostril into the nasal cavity to control bleeding, reduce adhesion formation, and stabilize tissues after nasal surgery or trauma. They create a physical barrier to support healing while minimizing complications like scarring or obstruction during recovery.
These devices are generally single-use, non-biodegradable, and made from materials like plastic, silicone, or absorbent polymers. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are typically classified based on risk factors like material composition and intended use duration—always verify local compliance before use.
