Intranasal splints have long been utilised as a post-operative adjunct in septoplasty, intended to reduce the risk of adhesions and haematoma formation, and to maintain alignment during healing.
A Medline literature review of the history and evolution of intranasal splint materials and designs was performed. Advantages and disadvantages of various splints are discussed.
Intranasal splints fashioned from X-ray film were first reported in 1955. Since then, a variety of materials have been utilised, including polyethylene coffee cup lids, samarium cobalt magnets and dental utility wax. Most contemporary splints are produced from silicon rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon). Designs have varied in thickness, flexibility, shape, absorption and the inclusion of built-in airway tubes. Future directions in splint materials and designs are discussed.
Intranasal splints have steadily evolved since 1955, with numerous novel innovations. Despite their simplicity, they play an important role in nasal surgery and will continue to evolve over time.
鼻内夹板长期以来一直被用作鼻中隔成形术后的辅助工具，旨在降低粘连和血肿形成的风险，并在愈合过程中保持鼻中隔的对线。
对鼻内夹板材料和设计的历史与演变进行了医学文献数据库（Medline）检索。讨论了各种夹板的优缺点。
1955年首次报道了用X光片制作的鼻内夹板。从那时起，人们使用了多种材料，包括聚乙烯咖啡杯盖、钐钴磁体和牙科通用蜡。大多数现代夹板由硅橡胶或聚四氟乙烯（特氟龙）制成。夹板在厚度、柔韧性、形状、吸收率以及是否内置气道管等方面各有不同。文中还讨论了夹板材料和设计的未来发展方向。
自1955年以来，鼻内夹板不断发展，有众多新颖的创新。尽管其结构简单，但它们在鼻腔手术中发挥着重要作用，并将随着时间的推移持续发展。
