ความเป็นนวัตกรรม

The Nasal Creator Device is specially developed for cleft lip and palate patients. It is used for forming and retaining the nasal morphology of patients during and after lip and nose surgeries. It serves as an efficient nasal retainer without the need for additional devices, and helps reduce the use of medical tape, which causes skin allergies and irritations among some patients. The post-application of the device will see patients with a nearly normal facial shape. The device is safe and friendly to the tissues and available in various sizes, which ideally match Thai children. The innovation helps improve the quality of medical treatment, in conjunction with primary surgery, which plays a vital part in the development of skull and facial morphology, facial beauty, as well as articulation of cleft lip and palate patients.

This innovative product has been certified by the National Health Security Office for use in the treatment for cleft lip and palate patients. It has been distributed to cleft lip and palate treatment centers in Thailand and Southeast Asia. No commercial launch of the product has been made.
