Balloon Sinuplasty™ Benefits
The benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology include:- Safe and Effective
While use of any surgical instrument involves some risk, clinical research has indicated the Balloon Sinuplasty™ system to be safe and effective when used by surgeons to relieve the symptoms of sinusitis.
- Minimally Invasive
The technology uses small, soft, flexible devices that enter entirely through the nostrils. These devices gently open blocked sinus openings, and in many cases, without tissue or bone removal.
- Minimal Bleeding
Because in many instances no tissue or bone is removed when using this technology, there may be minimal bleeding associated with the procedure.
- Minimal Recovery Time
While recovery time varies with each patient, many people can return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
- Does Not Limit Treatment Options
This technology is an endoscopic tool and may be used with other medical therapies or sinus surgery techniques. It should not limit future treatment options if you have progressive disease.
Intended for use by or under the direction of a doctor. Balloon Sinuplasty™ Technology has associated risks, including tissue and mucosal trauma, infection, or possible optic injury. Consult your doctor for a full discussion of risks and benefits to determine whether this procedure is right for you.
