Abstract
AIM: To develop a nasal conformer for cleft lip repair which should be easily available and economical. METHOD: We have used 'Luer mount' of the infant feeding tube as a nasal conformer in 14 patients. RESULT: Follow-up period ranged from 2 weeks to 3 months. Results were satisfactory in all the patients. No significant complications were noticed in any of the patients. CONCLUSION: This nasal conformer is easy to use and cost-effective. Though it is not as soft as silicon-based nasal stent but, it provides good support for maintaining the shape of nasal cartilage. © The Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India 2019.
