Design and Manufacturing of Nasal Conformer

Abstract:

Cleft lip occurs due to incomplete joining of the tissue that forms the upper lip resulting in an opening in the upper lip. This opening is in the form of a slit and is large extending up to the nose. Many methods have been suggested in repairing the cleft lip. As a part of post-surgical treatment, the nasal deformity has been an issue. Nasal conformer is a post-surgical aid that helps the patients to keep their nasal deformity in control. The present work aims in design and manufacturing of this nasal conformer for the much needy poor patients. Computer Aided Design (CAD) techniques are used to model the nasal conformer by taking the dimensions of the various aged group people ranging from 6 months to 16 years old. Based on that, 5 such sizes have been arrived. These CAD models have been manufactured using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique to prepare the final pattern for molding process. Once the molds for the nasal conformer have been created, the final parts have been casted using Silicone material. The final casted nasal conformers are being proposed to be distributed to the needy.
