ABSTRACT:
Recovery from human ethmoidectomy or other pan-sinus surgery wherein the human middle turbinate is subjected to surgical procedure is improved by a post-operative healing technique which comprises inserting over at least a portion of the post-operative middle turbinate a turbinate sheath device. The novel turbinate sheath comprises a septal plate member having an integrally formed turbinate sheathing portion extending along an outer surface of said rear plate portion in a substantially horizontal position, said turbinate sheathing portion having an upper open slot portion adapted to receive and hold the middle turbinate during post-operative healing. The turbinate sheath device is secured by attaching the septal plate member to a nasal portion during healing, whereby the middle turbinate is separated from the septum and lateral nasal wall to prevent adhesion.
