The fist model for nasal packing.
Epistaxis is a common ear, nose and throat emergency. A variety of nasal packs are available to control the bleeding by tamponade. Training of junior doctors to insert nasal packs is difficult when dealing with a bleeding patient. We discovered a readily available and simple model to enable trainees to learn the method of nasal packing.
