An assembly for introducing at least one nasal splint (5) into a nose of a patient, the assembly comprising:
- the at least one nasal splint (5), at least one hollow body (2A, 2B) for accommodating the at least one nasal splint (5), and at least one plunger (8A, 8B) which can be moved in the at least one hollow body, wherein one end face (3) of the at least one hollow body is open so that the at least one nasal splint contained in the at least one hollow body can, through a movement of the at least one plunger, be introduced from the at least one hollow body through the open end face into the nose of the patient, wherein the at least one nasal splint comprises a basic body (14) made of an elastic material, the basic body (14) being film-shaped having opposing first and second faces with a thickness being defined therebetween, wherein the at least one nasal splint can be arranged rolled-up or folded together in the at least one hollow body (2A, 2B) to have a first edge of the basic body exposed through the open end face thereof, and wherein the at least one nasal splint (5) has second and third longitudinal edges comprising complementary projections (18, 18′) and recesses (19, 19′), respectively, that engage in one another when the at least one nasal splint (5) is rolled-up or folded together.
