Abstract
A nasal splint ideally should be sturdy, moldable, light, easy to apply, and inconspicuous. Plaster, dental compound, and aluminum are currently used but each has limitations. We have found that Aquaplast, a material softened by immersion in hot water, more closely conforms to the qualities of the ideal nasal splint. Aquaplast is sturdy, light, thin, very moldable, easy to apply, and allows for passage of air and moisture.Entities:
