ABSTRACT:
A nose splint is provided which has a resilient layer having an adhesive coating on one side and a malleable metal layer permanently attached to the opposite side. The splint is applied after a traumatized nose has been taped with adhesive tape by applying the adhesive surface of the splint to the bridge of the nose and forming the splint around the nose so as to press any edema fluid between the incised skin and the bone and cartilage out of this area so that the skin tightly engages the bone and cartilage and is held thereagainst by adhesive contact with both the incised area and the untreated area so as to minimize swelling of the tissue and separation of the tissue from the bone and cartilage during the initial healing process.
