Nasal prosthesis user manual

Instructions for use

The nasal prostheses are made from a soft, transparent material that is biocompatible with the nasal mucosa. The material is also non-porous, which makes cleaning easier and reduces the risk of bacterial growth.

Before use

Simply rinse the prosthesis with water before the first use, as well as before each new use.

Insertion

Position the prosthesis in this orientation, then insert it into the nasal cavity in this way.

The prosthesis should not be worn for more than 24 consecutive hours according to the material manufacturer's guidelines.

Cleaning and disinfection

Soap: wash the prosthesis with mild soap and water, then rinse well.

Alcohol: to disinfect it, wipe it or soak it in 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for 5 minutes at most. This disinfects but does not sterilize. Longer baths can damage the soft material. Let it dry fully afterwards.

Storage

Store the prosthesis in a clean place, away from daylight. Indeed, UV radiation can damage the material, causing it to yellow and become brittle.
