ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical nasal tampon for a patient's self-application in controlling epistaxis comprises rayon, polysorbate 20, and optionally cotton fiber. A tab-like extension that is part of the tampon provides a gripping surface with which to grip the tampon. The tampon is impregnated with zinc oxide, which promotes healing, inhibits bacterial growth, limits bleeding, and prevents sticking of the tampon to the inside of the nose. The tampon is sized to be placed within the nasal cavity upon occurrence of a nosebleed. Blood from a nosebleed expands the tampon, holding it in place. When the nosebleed is ended, the tampon may be removed by applying pulling force to the extension, without disturbing blood clots that have formed.
