New and Innovative Intranasal Splint Enhances a Patient’s Comfort

Eagan, Minnesota – April 15, 2005 - Micromedics, a privately held manufacturer of medical devices, introduces the Breeze™ Nasal Airway Splints featuring a unique design with a tapered airway, beveled ends and two suture holes. The tapered airway of the Breeze™ creates a pressure gradient force providing superior airflow to the patient. The tapered airway also resists clogging of the splint. The beveled ends of the splint give the surgeon easier entry for suctioning, as well as more direct access to the two suture holes. Each splint has two suture holes for easier suture placement.
