Official title
Open Label, Baseline Controlled Study to Evaluate the Use of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Implants for the Treatment of External Nasal Valve Collapse and Cosmetic Contour Deformity
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to research a polyester polyethylene terephthalate (PET) implant for the treatment of external nasal valve collapse (NVC). NVC is a condition which causes narrowness and weakness in the nostril which results in nasal obstruction. Implants will be placed in the affected nostril(s). The implants are intended to restore the shape and stabilize the nasal wall to prevent nasal valve collapse and improve the symptoms associated with nasal obstruction.
