Abstract

Present example embodiments relate generally to nasal implants comprising a body portion, the body portion forming a central axis and having opposing inner body and outer body surfaces. The inner body surface may comprise a ventral groove portion disposed substantially parallel to the central axis, and the outer body surface may comprise a ridge portion. The ventral groove portion may comprise a deepest portion in proximate correspondence to a highest portion of the ridge portion with respect to the central axis. The nasal implant may comprise an elongated tail portion. A lower portion of the tail portion may be in communication with at least an upper portion of the body portion. An angle formable between an axis definable by the tail portion and the central axis may be between 0 to 90 degrees. The nasal implant may comprise a first wing portion, head portion, second wing portion, and leg portion.

Dependent claims

A nasal implant, comprising:

an elongated body portion, the body portion forming a central axis and having opposing inner body and outer body surfaces, the inner body surface having a ventral groove portion disposed substantially parallel to the central axis, and the outer body surface having a ridge portion, wherein the ventral groove portion comprises a deepest portion in proximate correspondence to a highest portion of the ridge portion with respect to the central axis;
an elongated tail portion, a lower portion of the tail portion in communication with at least an upper portion of the body portion, wherein an angle formable between an axis definable by the tail portion and the central axis is between 0-90 degrees;
a first wing portion, the first wing portion having opposing inner first wing and outer first wing surfaces, wherein an inner portion of the first wing portion is in communication with at least a first outer portion of the body portion;
a head portion, the head portion having opposing inner head and outer head surfaces, wherein the inner head surface is in communication with at least a lower portion of the inner body surface and the outer head surface is in communication with at least a lower portion of the outer body surface;
a second wing portion, the second wing portion having opposing inner second wing and outer second wing surfaces, wherein an inner portion of the second wing portion is in communication with at least a first outer portion of the head portion;
and
a leg portion, the leg portion having opposing inner leg and outer leg surfaces, an upper portion of the leg portion in communication with at least a lower portion of the head portion.
