This innovation in the treatment of debilitating sinusitis symptoms is called balloon sinuplasty.

Balloon sinuplasty is effective for treating patients diagnosed with recurrent or persistent sinusitis, a disease that impacts more than 35 million Americans annually.Performed under local anesthesia, balloon sinus dilation is a quick procedure that opens blocked sinus pathways by inserting and inflating asmall balloon. This restores drainage and offers instant life-changing relief that lasts.
