Balloon Sinus Surgery
Balloon SinuplastyTM technology is a FDA-cleared, endoscopic, catheter-based system for patients suffering from sinusitis. The technology uses a small, flexible, Sinus Balloon Catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways, restoring normal sinus drainage and function. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it gently restructures and widens the walls of the passageway while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.
1) Using the Balloon SinuplastyTM system, your physician gently places a Sinus Guide Catheter and a flexible Sinus Guidewire through the nostrils to access the target sinus. Next, a Sinus Balloon Catheter is advanced over the Sinus Guidewire.








2) The Sinus Balloon Catheter is positioned across the blocked ostium and gently inflated.












3) The Balloon SinuplastyTM system is removed, leaving an open sinus passageway and restoring normal drainage and function.
