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 />
