MEDPOR® Nasal Arch

Designed with: Dr. Robert D. Wallace, M.D.

The Nasal Arch can be effectively used to create a natural aesthetic nasal onlay where subtle augmentation of the dorsum is required or camouflaging of a warped or crooked bone graft is desired. Care should be taken to place the Arch appropriately in the dorsum area to avoid extending the Arch proximally into the soft nasal cartilage area of the tip. The edge of the Nasal Arch should be feathered for a smooth transition from the implant to the patient's natural contour.

Each Arch is packaged sterile and sold individually with a sterile silicone template

MEDPOR® Nasal Sheet

When nasal tip projection is needed, the Nasal Sheet can be used to support the tip by placing the Nasal Sheet between the medial cura and using it as a framework to support tip elevation. Prudent care should be taken not to extend the height of the Nasal Sheet above the lower lateral cartilage into the tip area.

Each STERILE Nasal Sheet is packaged individually.
