Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology overview
Balloon Sinuplasty™ devices provide an endoscopic, catheter-based system for surgeons to treat patients suffering from sinusitis. While use of any surgical instrument involves some risk, recent published data in the leading ENT journal shows that the technology is safe and effective: study participants experienced no adverse events and received significant relief from their symptoms.
Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology is used by qualified Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialists and involves the use of tiny balloons to open blocked sinuses similar to how angioplasty uses balloons to open blocked coronary arteries.
During sinus surgery, an ENT specialist will use Balloon Sinuplasty™ devices to open the blockage that is preventing sinus drainage, to improve symptoms of chronic sinusitis.
The following picture summarises the steps associated with using the Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology:
