Revolutionizing Nasal Support with LATERA

Experience natural breathing, reduced congestion, and lasting nasal support with a minimally invasive solution.

The LATERA Absorbable Nasal Implant is a groundbreaking solution designed to enhance your breathing by supporting the nasal walls from within.

How Does LATERA Work?

Designed for Functionality and Comfort

The implant features an anchor placed above the upper nose bone for strength and stability.

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.
