The LATERA® Absorbable Nasal Implant was created to support lateral nasal cartilage and help maintain airflow through the nasal valve.
How does LATERA® work?
Supportive
The LATERA® Absorbable Nasal Implant serves to reinforce and support upper and lower lateral cartilage in the nose to help reduce nasal airway obstruction symptoms and help patients breathe better.
Absorbable
The LATERA® implant is absorbed over a period of about 18 months. After LATERA® is implanted, a fibrous capsule will form around it, maintaining the integrity of the implant over 12 months. As absorption begins to take place, the capsule of tissue provides stability for the implant and allows localized tissue to respond during the absorption process. Remodeling of the lateral wall takes place as the implant is replaced with fibrous collagen that provides support.
