What is Balloon Sinuplasty?
A Breakthrough in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP) is a safe and effective sinus procedure for chronic sinusitis patients seeking relief from uncomfortable sinus pain symptoms.
Now Available in the ENT Office, Balloon Sinuplasty is:
- Safe & Less Invasive
- Proven Effective with Fast Recovery
How is Balloon Sinuplasty Safe & Less Invasive?
With Balloon Sinuplasty, there is no cutting of nasal bone or tissue. More than 380,000 patients suffering from chronic sinusitis symptoms have been treated by ear, nose and throat doctors using Balloon Sinuplasty.
How do patients feel after Balloon Sinuplasty?
In a study tracking patients 2 years following their Balloon Sinuplasty Sinus Surgery in the OR, most chronic sinusitis patients report clinically meaningful improvement in sinus symptoms and quality of life.
How long does recovery take after Balloon Sinuplasty?
While recovery time varies with each patient, recovery is typically fast. In a study of in-office balloon dilation, most patients returned to work and normal activity within 2 days.
How Does Balloon Sinuplasty Work?
Step 1 – A balloon catheter is inserted into the inflamed sinus.
Step 2 – The balloon is inflated to expand the sinus opening.
Step 3 – Saline is sprayed into the sinus to flush out any pus and mucus.
Step 4 – The system is removed, leaving the sinuses clean and open.
