Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Nasal packing and splints has been used to control bleeding in epistaxis and endo-nasal procedures using various</p> <div>materials for internal stabilization and as spacer to prevent synechia and re-stenosis. A range of materials are used</div> <div>worldwide, absorbable and non-absorbable type‘s .Currently there is no standardised material to be used for this purpose.
