ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic device in form of an inlay insertable into the nose for propping the nasal vertex and the point of the nose, so as to tauten the nostrils of a weakened inwardly sunken nose the point of which is inadequately supported by the nasal septum bone and its lower central cartilage. The inlay is essentially an elongate flexible body having two abutting terminals and a central intermediate beam-like portion and configurated to preclude its sliding within the nose and penetrating into the interior nasal cavity and the nasal fossa and also to prevent it from sliding out of the nose. The inlay is accompanied by a hooked puller enabling its retraction from the nasal cavity. The inlay is preferably manufactured from a plastic material, such as for instance polyethylene that does not tend to cause allergic reactions in the human organism.
