What types of doctors use Balloon Sinuplasty devices?
Safe and effective - 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 and 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 elimnated.
