How do Ultimate Performance Nasal Plugs work?
The plugs comprise a soft PVA sponge. When they come into contact with liquid they expand. Therefore, when inserted into the nose they expand, applying gentle pressure inside the cavity walls. As a result, this aids blood clotting and slows bleeding without discomfort.
The rapidly expanding four way action ensure the nasal plugs quickly absorb the blood, stopping the nose bleed. Ideal for treating sporting injuries.
Uses
Nasal plugs, also known as nasal tampons or nasal packing, are used for several medical and non-medical purposes. Here are the primary uses:
Controling nosebleeds
Acute Nosebleeds: Nasal plugs are commonly used to manage and control acute nosebleeds. They apply direct pressure to the bleeding site, helping to stop the bleeding effectively.
Post-Surgical Care:
Nasal & Sinus Surgery: After procedures like septoplasty or rhinoplasty, nasal plugs are used to control bleeding, support the nasal structure, and promote healing by keeping the nasal passages open and clear of blood clots.
Sporting Activities:
Preventing Bleeding: Athletes in contact sports such as:
- Boxing
- Wrestling
- Martial
- Rugby
- Football
- Hockey
Allergy and Hay Fever Management:
Blocking Allergens: In environments with high levels of allergens, nasal plugs can help block the entry of pollen, dust, and other allergens. Therefor, reducing allergic reactions.
Protection from Irritants:
Chemical Exposure: Workers exposed to airborne irritants such as dust, fumes, or chemicals may use nasal plugs as a protective measure to prevent substances from entering the nasal passages.
