4. Important: Do not continue to push the stent further into the nose if the silver ball end is
hidden by the tip of your nose.
5. Hold the pusher steady with one hand and with your other hand, the introduction tube
is slowly pulled back over the pusher rod. This enables the stent to expand against the
walls of the nose.
6. Once the introduction tube is removed, the stent is safely in position.
7. To disengage the stent from the pusher rod: press your fingertip against the side of your
nose holding the stent in place and flip the pusher rod upwards. This will disengage the
clip lock from the stent.
8. Repeat the installation process for the second stent.
Removing your stents
You may experience the stents sticking during removal. This is due to dried mucus. It
is helpful to first moisten the mucosa with a nasal spray containing sea salt or water. To
remove, grasp the silver ball end and GENTLY start rotating the stents from left to right and
SLOWLY pull the stent out while rotating. Repeat removal process for the second stent.
