Sinusitis Balloon Sinuplasty
A Breakthrough in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
In-Office Balloon Sinusplasty
Balloon Sinuplasty is now available to eligible patients as a minimally invasive procedure performed in your doctor's office, under local anesthesia. Your physician will recommend the best approach for you.
- Local Anesthesia: Balloon Sinuplasty In-Office is an option for patients who decline or are ineligible for general anesthesia.
- Fast Recovery: While recovery time varies with each patient, most patients who undergo the in-office procedure can return to normal activities and work within 2 days.1
- Comfortable Surroundings: Experience the procedure in the comfort of your physician's office rather than a hospital operating room.
- High Patient Satisfaction: The majority of patients who had Balloon Sinuplasty In-Office would recommend the procedure to family and friends.1
- Potential for Significant Cost Savings: Some eligible patients may have lower out-of-pocket costs if the procedure is performed in a lower cost of care setting, such as a physician's office.

Sinus Surgery with Balloon Sinuplasty
Unlike traditional sinus surgery, Balloon Sinuplasty requires no cutting and no removal of bone and tissue.
Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP) uses a small, flexible, balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways and facilitate drainage of the mucus that builds up in patients suffering from chronic sinusitis symptoms.
When the sinus balloon is inflated, it restructures and widens the walls of the sinus passageway while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.
Published clinical data in the leading ENT journals shows that it is safe and effective: patients experienced no device-related adverse events and demonstrated statistically and clinically significant improvement in their sinusitis symptoms.1,2
