Abstract: A biodegradable nasal splint, wherein the biodegradable nasal splint is configured for placement within a nasal passage so as to stabilize a surgically-corrected septum. A biodegradable nasal splint, wherein the biodegradable nasal splint is configured for placement within a nasal passage so as to exert a lateralizing force to an outfractured inferior turbinate. A method comprising performing a corrective procedure with respect to a patient's nasal passage, positioning a biodegradable nasal splint within the patient's nasal passage, wherein the biodegradable nasal splint is effective to exert a lateralizing force to an inferior turbinate, to stabilize a nasal septum, or combinations thereof.
