Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Non-calcified, mobile cartilaginous septal deviation.
• ≥21 years of age.
• Willing and able to provide informed consent and comply with the study protocol.
• Seeking treatment for nasal airway obstruction (NAO) due to septal deviation and is willing to undergo a nasal implant procedure.
• Type I, II, or III septal deviation as defined by 7-Degree Mladina classification scheme
• NOSE score ≥30 at Screening Visit.
• Appropriate nasal anatomy to receive the implant(s).

Exclusion Criteria

• Type IV, V, VI or VII septal deviation as defined by 7-Degree Mladina classification scheme (See Table 2) or other non-cartilaginous septum anatomical pathology identified on CT scan suspected by Investigator to be the primary contributor to NAO.
• Having a concurrent ENT procedure, other than turbinate reduction.
• Previous septoplasty or rhinoplasty.
• Has had turbinate reduction or other nasal surgeries within the past six (6) months.
• Plans to have any surgical or non-surgical treatment of their nasal septum, other than the index procedure, within six (6) months of the procedure.
• Permanent implant or dilator in the nasal area.
• Concomitant autoimmune, inflammatory, or infectious skin conditions, unhealed wounds, septal perforation, or mucosal irregularities in the treatment area.
• Currently has active nasal vestibulitis or folliculitis.
• History of nasal vasculitis.
• Current or chronic systemic steroid and/or recreational intra-nasal drug user.
• Has had a cancerous or pre-cancerous lesion and/or has had radiation exposure in the treatment area or active chemotherapy.
• Polyps or pathology, other than turbinate hypertrophy, that may be primary contributor to airway obstruction, in the opinion of the investigator.
• History of a significant bleeding disorder(s) and/or current prescription blood thinner medication that would prevent healing of the treatment area post procedure.
• Known or suspected allergy to polydioxanone or other absorbable materials.
• Significant systemic disease such as poorly controlled diabetes or connective tissue disease which, in the investigator's opinion, could pre-dispose the participant to poor wound healing.
• Current tobacco or tobacco-related product use or history within the past 10 years of heavy smoking (on average, more than half a pack of cigarettes per day).
• Female participants of childbearing potential who are known or suspected to be pregnant and/or lactating.
• Any physical condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, would prevent adequate study participation or increase risk.
• Additionally, for OR cases (Cohorts 1 or 3) any individual who meets the following criteria will be ineligible for enrollment as an OR case

• Is not a candidate for procedures conducted under general anesthesia.
• Additionally, for in-office cases (Cohort 2) any individual who meets the following criteria will be ineligible for enrollment as an in-office case:

• s not a candidate for procedures conducted under local anesthesia alone.

• Minimum Eligible Age: 21 Years
• Eligible Sex: ALL
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No
