  • Overview

    VelNez® is a fragmentable composite that fragments within a few days on application intended as a nasal dressing. The pain associated with the tradition nasal pack removal is completely eliminated with VelNez since such a procedure is not necessary as VelNez® fragments uniformly. It also reduces fibrosis and at the same time promotes healing and clotting.
