Market Challenges And Opportunities

Restraints

Nasal valve collapse impacts the patient’s quality of life significantly. This condition is severe in some patients, and has limited number of treatment options. Moreover, most of the treatment options are invasive and the only permanent solution is to undergo a nasal valve surgery. This requires extensive skills and training by the ENT specialist or facial plastic surgeons.

This condition is often undertreated and under diagnosed because of low patient awareness. An absorbable implant is a non-invasive technology to support the nasal cartilage and improve breathing. These implants are an important development for nasal obstruction patients where a standard treatment procedure for septum and turbinates are not enough. The implants are usually preferred for patients who have undergone a rhinoplasty since there is a likelihood of an extremely narrow-looking nose.
