Balloon Sinuplasty
What are the benefits of using Balloon?
Safe and effective – While use of any surgical instrument
involves some risk, studies demonstrate that the Balloon
Sinuplasty system may be safe and effective in relieving
symptoms of sinusitis.
Minimally invasive – The technology uses small, soft, flexible
devices introduced entirely through the nostrils. These devices
gently open blocked sinuses.
Reduced bleeding – In many cases, no tissue or bone is
removed during surgery using this technology, because of this
there may be reduced bleeding. As a result, the need for
uncomfortable nasal packing may also be eliminated.
Fast recovery time – While recovery time varies with each patient,
some patients have been known to return to normal activities
within 24 hours.
Does not limit treatment options – The Balloon Sinuplasty
technology is an endoscopic tool and may be used with other
medical therapies and/or surgical techniques. It does not limit
future treatment options if a patient has progressive disease.
Step 1: Using the Relieva Balloon Sinuplasty system, the
otolaryngologist gains access to the target sinus with a Sinus
Guide Catheter and a flexible Sinus Guidewire. Then a Sinus
Balloon Catheter is advanced over the Sinus Guidewire.
Step 2: The Sinus Balloon Catheter is positioned across the
blocked ostium and gently inflated.
Step 3: The Relieva system is removed, leaving an open
sinus ostium and restoring normal sinus drainage and function.

What are Balloon Sinuplasty devices?
Balloon Sinuplasty™ devices are FDA-cleared, catheter-based
technologies specifically designed to navigate the tortuous sinus
anatomy. The Relieva™ Sinus Balloon system is used to open the
blocked sinus ostium, and in many cases, without tissue or bone
removal. Using the Relieva Sinus Balloon system, the blocked
sinus ostium is gently dilated restoring normal sinus drainage
and function.
