Abstract

Methods and devices for maintaining nasal passages open after nasal surgery are provided. In some embodiments, the method of the present invention includes initially cleaning at least some of the bodily fluids from the nasal passages of a patient after the nasal surgery; providing a post-operative device having a first tubular member with a first proximal end and a first distal end, and a second tubular member with a second proximal end and a second distal end, where the first proximal end is connected to the second proximal end with a bridging member, which may include a flexible member to facilitate positioning, and the post-operative device is splintless; inserting the first distal end and the second distal end into the nasal passages of the patient to a location where the first proximal end and the second proximal end each protrude beyond the nostril opening of the patient; and placing a packing material at least partially around each tubular member. In some embodiments of the present invention, a specialized speculum is provided to facilitate placing packing material around the tubular members of the medical device. Medical kits for use following nasal surgery are also provided.
