Balloon Sinuplasty is a clinically proven, minimally invasive technology used for treating chronic sinusitis. The 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. Acclarent Inc. originally developed this technology, now part Ethicon, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company.

Balloon Sinuplasty is:

• Safe and effective
• Reduces bleeding
• Offers a fast recovery time
• Does not limit treatment options
