Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• The subject has Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score ≥55.
• The subject has dynamic lateral nasal wall insufficiency as confirmed by positive modified Cottle maneuver.
• The subject is ≥18 years of age.
• The subject is willing and able to provide informed consent and comply with the study protocol.
• The subject is seeking treatment for nasal airway obstruction due to nasal valve collapse (NVC) and is willing to undergo an in-office nasal implant procedure alone or with a turbinate reduction procedure.
• The subject has appropriate nasal and facial anatomy to receive the Latera Implant.
• The subject agrees to follow-up examinations through 12 months post operatively.
• The subject has failed to benefit from appropriate maximal medical management [eg, nasal steroids (at least 4 weeks); antihistamines; oral decongestants; nasal strips, stents, or cones]. Failure of maximal medical management may be from lack of effectiveness or tolerability.

You may not qualify if…

• The subject is having a concurrent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) or sinuplasty.
• The subject has had rhinoplasty within the past 12 months.
• The subject is planning to have other concurrent rhinoplasty procedure.
• The subject is planning to have other rhinoplasty procedures or will use external dilators within 12 months after the index procedure.
• The subject has had septoplasty and/or inferior turbinate reduction within the past 6 months.
• The subject has, in the view of the clinician, inappropriate fixation on their nasal airway.
• The subject plans to have any surgical or nonsurgical treatment of their nasal valve, other than the index procedure, within 12 months of the study.
• The subject has a permanent Implant or dilator in the nasal area.
• The subject has concomitant inflammatory or infectious skin conditions or unhealed wounds in the treatment area.
• The subject currently has active nasal vestibulitis.
• The subject has a history of nasal vasculitis.
• The subject is a chronic systemic steroid or recreational intranasal drug user.
• The subject has had a cancerous or precancerous lesion and/or has had radiation exposure in the treatment area or chemotherapy.
• The subject has polyps or pathology (ie, septal deviation) other than turbinate hypertrophy and/or lateral wall insufficiency that would contribute to airway obstruction.
• The subject has a history of a significant bleeding disorder(s) that would prevent healing of the treatment area post procedure.
• The subject has a known or suspected allergy to polylactide polymer (PLA) or other absorbable materials.
• The subject has a significant systemic disease such as poorly controlled diabetes which, in the investigator's opinion, could predispose the subject to poor wound healing.
• The subject is currently using nasal oxygen or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
• The subject is not a candidate for procedures conducted under local anesthesia and/or managed anesthesia care (MAC) or conscious sedation.
• Female subjects of childbearing potential, known or suspected to be pregnant, or is lactating.
