Project Description add commentupload similar

Balloon Sinuplasty can help to manage sinusitis and sinus infections with minimal trauma.  This can be combined with the Relieva Sinus Spacer to allow medication to bathe the inside of the sinus and its opening.  The obstructed sinus is enlarged with a balloon (Balloon Sinuplasty).  The Relieva Sinus Spacer, a reservoir that may be left in the sinus for several weeks, is inserted.  The Relieva Sinus Spacer is approved in the United Stated for saline to bathe the sinus and in Europe for steroids to be placed in it and bathe the sinus.  In this case steroids were placed in the Relieva Sinus Spacer to manage the polyps and open the sinus.
