The painful symptoms associated with chronic sinusitis can be
overwhelming. If symptoms are difficult to control with medications
alone, your primary doctor may refer you to an Ear, Nose and Throat
(ENT) specialist, who can determine the best course of treatment,
including further medication therapy or surgery to open the sinus
passage ways.
Now, there is an additional surgical option for treatment of
blocked sinuses called Balloon
Sinuplasty™ Technology. If you have been diagnosed
with chronic sinusitis and are not responding well to antibiotics
you may be a candidate for surgery. Your surgeon now has a less
invasive option that is clinically proven to be safe, effective
and improve the quality of your life.
Balloon Sinuplasty™ Technology
is an endoscopic, catheter-based system for patients suffering from
sinusitis. The FDA-cleared technology uses a small, flexible, sinus
balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways, restoring
normal sinus drainage. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it
gently restructures and widens the walls of the passageway while
maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.
