Summary

This study compares the current commercially available nasal conformer available for use in cleft lip repair and nasal scar release to a novel, anatomically shaped conformer based upon typical nasal airspace shape. This will follow patients using both of these types of splints during the post-operative healing process with one group starting with the standard splint and then moving to the anatomic conformer and the second group beginning with the anatomic and them moving to the standard conformer. This study will evaluate the patient experience and outcomes of the 2 types of conformers, looking at the discomfort, device dislodgements, ease of use and occurrence of complications such as skin irritation and rashes or skin breakdown.

Conditions

  • Nasal Surgical Procedures

Interventions

DEVICE
