Which nasal pack is kinder to your nose after surgery?
NCT ID NCT07560254
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two different nasal packs used after nose surgery to see which one patients liked better and which led to better healing. Twenty adults who had nasal surgery received either a VELNEZ or NASOPORE pack. Researchers checked for pain, bleeding, and how well the pack broke down over 90 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- VELNEZ Nasal Pack (biodegradable composite of gelatin, chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol, and psyllium husk) and NASOPORE Nasal Pack (biosynthetic biodegradable polyurethane foam)
- What this could lead to
- If VELNEZ works better, it could offer patients less pain and faster healing after nasal surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study (20 people) at one center, so results may not apply to everyone. The packs are already approved, so no major new breakthrough is expected.
