Richard A. Hopper - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

Seattle Children's Hospital - Seattle WA

International Classification:

A61M 29/00

US Classification:

606196

Abstract:

A dynamic nasal molding device for presurgical molding of cleft lip deformities, the device having a pair of rotation assemblies each having an internal shaping member for insertion in a nostril and an external shaping member to be positioned external to the nostril, wherein the internal and external shaping members are progressively pivoted about the rotation assemblies, while simultaneously the separation distance between the rotation assemblies is decreased, to mold the nasal anatomy into the desired shape.

15/330920

Inventors:

Richard A. Hopper - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/24

Abstract:

A spring-biased nasal molding device for presurgical molding of cleft lip deformities, the device having a pair of intra-nasal shaping members for insertion into the nostrils and having an extra-nasal shaping member to be positioned external to the nostrils connected to each intra-nasal shaping member, wherein the intra-nasal and extra-nasal shaping members are brought together by the spring member to mold the nasal anatomy into the desired shape.

14/225934

Inventors:

Richard A. Hopper - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

A61F 5/08

Abstract:

A spring-biased nasal molding device for presurgical molding of cleft lip deformities, the device having a V-shaped spring member joined to a pair of intra-nasal shaping members for insertion in a nostril, and having an extra-nasal shaping member to be positioned external to the nostril connected to each intra-nasal shaping member, wherein the intra-nasal and extra-nasal shaping members are brought together by the spring member to mold the nasal anatomy into the desired shape.
