Breathe Easy Nasal Splints

After septoplasty, sinus surgery, or nasal reconstruction, the internal shape of the nose needs support while tissue heals — that's where Breathe Easy nasal splints come in. Manufactured by Invotec International, these medical-grade silicone splints stabilize the septum, prevent the formation of intranasal adhesions (synechiae), and help maintain a patent airway during the critical days of recovery.

The Breathe Easy Silicone Regular splint measures 6 x 25 x 70 mm and is made from soft, biocompatible silicone that conforms to the nasal passage without excessive pressure on delicate post-operative tissue. Surgeons value this design because it holds the septum in the corrected position while allowing the patient to breathe through a built-in airway channel — a meaningful comfort improvement over older packing-only techniques. Splints are offered individually or as a pair (SKU 20-10500), so you can order to match a bilateral or single-side procedure.

A common question from both clinicians and patients is how long the splints stay in place. That's determined by the operating surgeon, but they're typically retained for several days to about a week and then removed at a follow-up visit. Because the silicone is smooth and non-adherent, removal is generally straightforward and less traumatic than gauze packing. The material is intended for single-patient use and should be placed and removed by a qualified provider.

If you're stocking a surgical suite or ENT practice, these splints pair naturally with other airway and nasal care products. For an over-the-counter option that opens the nasal passages externally, see Breathe Right, and for nasal and ear irrigation supplies, explore Doctor Easy. Choosing the right splint size and quantity comes down to the specifics of the procedure — the Regular silicone splint covers the majority of standard adult septoplasty cases.
