What is Sinusitis and how can Acclarent® help?

Sinusitis

By definition, sinusitis is an inflammation of the tissues that line the sinuses. This swelling prevents normal drainage of mucus through the nose. When the flow is blocked, mucus builds up in the sinuses, resulting in symptoms including sinus pressure and congestion, headache and other discomforts. Chronic sinusitis can significantly impact an individual's physical, functional and emotional well-being.

A Breakthrough in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP) is a safe and effective sinus procedure1,2 for chronic sinusitis patients seeking relief from uncomfortable sinus pain symptoms.

Balloon Sinuplasty can be performed in an OR or office setting. The office setting, using local anesthesia, may appeal to patients who want relief from sinusitis symptoms and would prefer to avoid an operating room procedure under general anesthesia.
