Say Goodbye to Chronic Nasal Congestion with ClariFix®
What is LATERA?
Revolutionizing Nasal Support with LATERA
The LATERA Absorbable Nasal Implant is a groundbreaking solution designed to enhance your breathing by supporting the nasal walls from within. Composed of a medically approved absorbable polymer, this small beam-like implant provides structural reinforcement to your nasal cavity while encouraging collagen production for long-term natural support.
How Does LATERA Work?
Designed for Functionality and Comfort
- The implant features an anchor placed above the upper nose bone for strength and stability.
- A beam extends toward the lower nasal cartilage, holding the nasal walls open and preventing collapse.
- LATERA is suitable for addressing one or both sides of the nose, depending on your needs.
How It’s Absorbed:
Over 18 months, the implant naturally dissolves, replaced by your body’s collagen, creating lasting structural support.
Benefits of LATERA
Immediate and Long-Lasting Results
With LATERA, you can expect:
- Improved natural breathing.
- Healthier, more restful sleep.
- Reduced congestion and nasal blockages.
- Increased oxygen flow for better performance during exercise.
- Lasting results as collagen replaces the implant over time.
Why Choose LATERA?
A Minimally Invasive Solution for Better Breathing
LATERA is ideal for individuals seeking a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to improve nasal airflow and reduce congestion. Its innovative design combines immediate relief with natural, long-term benefits, making it a trusted choice for nasal support.
What to Expect During the Procedure
A Quick and Comfortable Experience
The LATERA procedure is straightforward and minimally invasive:
- Duration: Roughly 10 minutes.
- Anesthetic Options: Performed under light sedation or local anesthetic.
- Process:
- A small cannula is used to position the implant in the nasal wall.
- The implant is securely anchored as the cannula is withdrawn.
- If both sides require treatment, the procedure is repeated.
Most patients experience only minor discomfort, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
