Balloon Sinuplasty technology is an endoscopic, catheter-based system for patients suffering from sinusitis. The 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. Learn more about Balloon Sinuplasty.

Sinusitis – Everything you need to know - Sinusitis is a large group of diseases of the sinus lining and sometimes the surrounding structures. Sinusitis occurs when the lining of the sinuses, called the mucosa, becomes inflamed or irritated. The inflammation of the lining of the sinuses can become so extensive that it causes the very small sinus ostia to become blocked.
