Balloon Sinuplasty
Since its introduction in 2005,
Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology has emerged as a new complement to existing approaches.
Balloon Sinuplasty™ has been utilized in over 125,000
patients and 350,000 sinuses. Each day approximately 200 sinus
surgeries are being performed with this technology.
Ultimately, the technology may allow for significant symptom relief
for patients that allows for faster return to normal daily activities -
often in 24 hours.
Balloon Sinuplasty™ is a novel, endoscopic, catheter-based
technology utilized in sinus surgery that you can discuss with your
doctor. This 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.
