According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, The UK Nasal Splints Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 181.3 Million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.67% from 2025 to 2035. The rising demand for nasal splints is due to the need to protect and maintain the shape of the nose following surgery. Accordingly, the rise in nose surgeries to alleviate breathing problems, correct congenital deformities, repair broken noses, and enhance the aesthetic appearance of noses has generated demand in the market.

Market Overview

The UK nasal splints market consists of medical devices that support and stabilise the nose procedures such as septoplasty and rhinoplasty, hence promoting recovery by reducing bleeding, oedema, and problems while improving surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction. The UK nasal splints market is expanding due to a rise in the number of manufacturers, increased demand for nasal surgeries for both cosmetic and medical purposes, and a higher occurrence of accidents leading to nasal deformities. These deformities often necessitate corrective surgery, during which nasal splints are essential for supporting and preserving the nose’s shape throughout the healing process. In rhinoplasty, external nasal splints are frequently used to realign nasal bones and reshape cartilage, aiding in swelling reduction and ensuring a safer recovery. By stabilizing the bone and cartilage, nasal splints help ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of complications like filler migration, misalignment, and implant displacement. Furthermore, wearing an external splint encourages patients to safeguard their noses during recovery. The UK clinical guidelines influence nasal splint use by proposing optimal practices in surgery and care. Rising nasal disorders, such as deviated septum and trauma, drive the demand for surgeries, increasing the requirement for nasal splints in post-operative care throughout healthcare facilities. The increasing number of rhinoplasty procedures, particularly among younger and middle-aged groups, alongside a strong healthcare system and rising accident rates, further fuels the demand for nasal splints in the UK.
