Why the Clear-Flo Nasal Airway is Good for Your Practice
Some surgeons “pack” and some do not. There is no right or wrong, medically. Surgeon preference.
The patient preferences offer a different perspective, however. Patients don’t care whether chromic or Vicryl are used, or whether a “splint” is secured, or whether or not the nose is packed.
Patients are thinking about only two issues
- Pain
- Breathing
Pain control is easy; we prescribe analgesics, and perhaps tranquilizers. Problem solved.
The breathing issue is less consistently addressed. Surgeons who choose not to pack are responding to the “bad press” the packing has eternally endured. Not packing is often, but not always, a concession to its unpopularity among the lay public and prospective patients.
To deliver the optimal patient experience and thus engender satisfaction and stimulate referrals, expressing concern for the airway issue by installing a breathing conduit at the conclusion of the surgery has become a big plus for more and more practices.
The Reltok Clear-Flo™ Nasal Airway Reduces the Reluctance to Have Surgery
The “bad press”, fair or unfair, concerning blocked breathing after nasal/sinus surgery is still out there. Some is based on obsolete packing techniques, but such bad news doesn’t die out quickly. And it makes patients reluctant to have safe and successful surgeries.
The Reltok Clear-Flo™ Nasal Airway makes it easier for patients to accept a recommendation for surgery. Patient commentaries, testimonials and reviews — right on this website — endorsing the use of the airway are hard to dismiss.
Based on patients satisfaction surveys, “To pack, or not to pack” is less of a question than “To breathe or not to breathe”. We surgeons think “technique”, while the patient thinks “comfort”.
Insertion of the Reltok Clear-Flo™ Nasal Airway facilitates a more pleasant patient experience, diminishes immediate post-operative office visits, lessens the burden on office staff and most importantly drives development of very positive attitudes about the surgeon and his practice.
The Reltok Clear-Flo™ Nasal Airway Reduces the Reluctance to Have Surgery
- “This doctor cares about me and my comfort”
- “This doctor uses advanced techniques and innovative devices”
- “This doctor is offering something that is good for me that other doctors don’t”
- “Why would I go to another doctor who does not use this”.
