In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been an emerging technology with uses in a wide array of fields. This research aims to use 3D printing as a tool to provide personalized education to maximize treatment efficacy based on the patient's individual anatomy. With increased irrigation to the sinuses, we hypothesize there will be improved patient satisfaction and higher quality of life. The outcomes of this research could lead to a new option for patients who live with chronic rhinosinusitis are not candidates for surgery or are interested in less invasive options. The 3D printed nasal replica is not something that would be implanted, rather it is a hand-held device used specifically for participants to better understand their nasal anatomy.
