Balloon Dilation of Sinuses

Get relief with balloon sinus dilation

You’ve waited long enough. When merely managing your symptoms is no longer working, and your busy lifestyle doesn’t allow time for endoscopic sinus surgery, consider balloon sinus dilation. The procedure offers a safe, convenient and comfortable alternative for treating recurring or persisting sinus pain and pressure.

Gentle: The small balloon gently opens and reshapes your sinus drainage pathways, restoring normal sinus drainage.

Quick recovery: Many patients resume normal activities the same day.

Convenient and comfortable: The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia.

Instant and long-lasting: The procedure keeps sinus passages open, offering long-term relief from the problems associated with sinusitis.1 Multiple studies show patients experienced less facial pain, improved sleep, less use of antibiotics, fewer visits to their doctor and were quickly able to perform day-today activities at home and work.

The procedure and what you can expect

How our balloon sinus dilation works

First, local anesthesia numbs your sinus tissue. Then, your physician inserts and gently inflates the balloon to dilate the treatment area. The balloon dilation expands the sinus pathways to restore drainage. After three to five seconds, the balloon is deflated and removed.

Procedure overview

Balloon sinus dilation is not appropriate for all patients. Complete the symptom survey and discuss with your physician to see if balloon sinus dilation is right for you.

The clinical trial REMODEL compared our balloon sinus dilation and traditional sinus surgery in adults and found that after 12 months, both procedures deliver comparable results, but choosing balloon dilation can significantly enhance the patient recovery experience.
