Doyle Spacer-Splints™
This versatile product may be used on the right or left side for temporary splinting of the nasal septum and to prevent lateralization of the middle turbinate. The Doyle Spacer-Splint™* prevents adhesion and its easy insertion enhances patient comfort.

Prevents Lateralization of Middle Turbinate!

Dr. Doyle’s Placement Suggestion**: The slits are placed in the inferior portion of
the device and may be used to fold the device to facilitate placement. The curved cuff or trough is placed along the inferior/free edge of the middle turbinate with the open end lateral to the turbinate and the longer splint portion against the nasal septum. After manipulating the splint into the desired position, suture the splint portion to the nasal septum. The cuff should be placed so that the maxillary sinus osteum cannot have direct contact with the mucosa of the middle turbinate.
