NASAL IMPLANTS

A nasal implant comprises an implant body comprising a distal end, a proximal end, a central portion disposed between the proximal end and the distal end, a core made of a degradable material, and a coating on an outer surface of the implant core. The central portion comprises a plurality of ribs. T...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A nasal implant comprises an implant body comprising a distal end, a proximal end, a central portion disposed between the proximal end and the distal end, a core made of a degradable material, and a coating on an outer surface of the implant core. The central portion comprises a plurality of ribs. The coating comprises hydrophobic material which is bioabsorbable, wherein the coating and the implant core do not deliver a pharmaceutical agent or a drug. The nasal implant further comprises a first arm disposed at the distal end, the first arm having a proximal end fixed to the body and a distal end not fixed to the body, and a second arm having a proximal end fixed to the body and a distal end not fixed to the body. The distal end of the first arm is adapted to move away from a central longitudinal axis of the body from a delivery configuration toward a deployed configuration. The distal end of the second arm is adapted to move away from a central longitudinal axis of the body from a delivery configuration toward a deployed configuration, wherein the first and second arms are biased toward their deployed configuration.
