This policy explains how we write, what we stand behind, and how we handle the fact that we both make nasal strips and publish articles about them.
Accuracy and sourcing
We aim to be factually specific rather than vague. Claims about nasal breathing, sleep, and airflow are checked against clinical and scientific sources, and we describe how a mechanism works instead of asserting a result with no explanation. If we get something wrong, we want to fix it.
Honesty about who we are
Ventriq is the maker of the strips discussed on this blog, so we are not an independent reviewer and we do not pretend to be. What we can offer is direct experience with a deviated septum and an honest account of what a nasal strip does and does not do. We are always upfront that a strip relieves symptoms by opening the nasal passages and does not correct the structural deviation itself.
Medical disclaimer
Our articles are for general information and are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. A deviated septum and ongoing breathing or sleep problems should be assessed by a qualified clinician. Always speak to a professional before making decisions about surgery or treatment.
Corrections
If you spot an error or something that reads as misleading, contact us and we will review it. Where a correction is warranted we update the article rather than quietly leaving it in place.
