NASAL DARTT IMPLANT<br />

Designed with:<br />

Wallace K. Dyer, II, M.D., F.A.C.S.<br />

The new MEDPOR Nasal DARTT Implant is<br />

designed to correct an undesirable angle between<br />

the upper lip and the columella using the Dynamic<br />

Adjustable-Rotation Tip-Tensioning Technique.<br />

The DARTT Implant is made of three parallel<br />

MEDPOR struts, stacked together and joined<br />

at one end by a polyethylene pin (or rivet) that<br />

allows the struts to rotate with respect to one<br />

another. The two outside struts are designed to<br />

be used as spreader grafts that extends into the<br />

nasal tip. The center strut of the MEDPOR DARTT<br />

Implant is designed to be used as columellar strut<br />

and should be trimmed appropriately to meet the<br />

individual patient’s needs.<br />

NASAL SHEET (STRUT)<br />

Designed with:<br />

Robert D. Wallace, M.D.<br />

When nasal tip projection is needed, the Nasal<br />

Sheet can be used to support the tip by placing<br />

the Nasal Sheet between the medial crura of<br />

the alar cartilage, using it as a framework to<br />

support tip elevation. Care should be taken not<br />

to extend the height of the Nasal Sheet above<br />

the alar cartilage into the tip area.<br />

9536 Nasal Sheet 40mm x 9mm x 1.1mm<br />

Designed with:<br />

William Silver, M.D., F.A.C.S.<br />

The Lateral Nasal Valve Batten, a small, domeshaped<br />

sheet measuring approximately 0.85mm in<br />

thickness and 13mm in diameter, is placed convex<br />

side out at the junction of the posterior region of<br />

the alar cartilage and upper lateral cartilage.<br />

A resorbable mattress suture is placed through<br />

the implant and the vestibular skin to pull the<br />

nasal vestibular mucosa to the underside of the<br />

dome. Lateral Nasal Valve Battens are packaged<br />

sterile, two implants per package.<br />

EXTERNAL NASAL VALVE BATTENS<br />

Designed with:<br />

Thomas Romo III, M.D., F.A.C.S.<br />

The External Nasal Valve Battens - elongated,<br />

concave ovals - replace resected residual lower<br />

lateral cartilage to provide support for the external<br />

nasal valve. The implants are placed just<br />

anterior to the pyriform aperture through<br />

an external rhinoplasty approach, with marginal<br />

incisions along the columella and rim incisions<br />

along the alae. The rim incisions provide adequate<br />

tissue coverage to prevent exposure of the<br />

inferior edge. External Nasal Valve Battens are<br />

packaged sterile, two implants per package.<br />
