Anatomy of Nasal Airway Obstruction

Do You Have Trouble Breathing Through Your Nose?

Check if you have any of the following symptoms:

• Nasal congestion or stuffiness
• Nasal blockage or obstruction
• Trouble breathing through your nose
• Trouble sleeping
• Unable to get enough air through your nose during exercise or exertion

Then try this simple test (called the Cottle test).

Does your breathing improve when you pull on your cheek to hold your nostril to the side? If yes, talk to your doctor about options to support your lateral nasal cartilage, which may include the LATERA implant.

LATERA May Help You Breathe Better

LATERA is a small implant placed in the side wall of your nose. This supports your lateral nasal cartilage, which may reduce your nasal obstruction symptoms and help you breathe better.1

The LATERA Absorbable Nasal Implant is indicated for supporting upper and lower lateral nasal cartilage. Risks include mild bruising, and inflammation, awareness of the implant, mild pain or irritation, discomfort, infection, reaction to material and device retrieval.
