A nasal splint ideally should be sturdy, moldable, light, easy to apply, and inconspicuous. Plaster, dental compound, and aluminum are currently used but each has limitations. We have found that Aquaplast, a material softened by immersion in hot water, more closely conforms to the qualities of the ideal nasal splint. Aquaplast is sturdy, light, thin, very moldable, easy to apply, and allows for passage of air and moisture.
理想的鼻夹板应坚固、可塑形、轻便、易于应用且不显眼。目前使用的石膏、牙科用化合物和铝制材料都有局限性。我们发现，一种通过浸入热水软化的材料Aquaplast更符合理想鼻夹板的特性。Aquaplast坚固、轻便、轻薄、极易塑形、易于应用，并且能让空气和水分通过。
