Sinusitis is a medical condition that causes inflammation along the sinus lining, causing nose blockage and preventing mucus drainage. Sinus dilation devices are medical devices that are used to expand the sinus openings of a patient's nose in order to treat nasal sinuses or sinusitis drainage issues. The balloon sinus dilation procedure is one of the advanced sinus dilation procedures. It is a minimally invasive procedure that replaces traditional sinus surgery.

A doctor uses inflated balloons to reshape the patient's sinus pathway in order to open the blocked sinus or nasal pathway during a balloon sinus dilation procedure. Because it provides immediate and long-lasting results, the procedure is generally preferred over decongestants, antibiotics, or steroids.

Balloon Sinuplasty technology, which is used by qualified Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) physicians, involves the use of tiny balloons to open blocked sinuses in the same way that angioplasty uses balloons to open blocked coronary arteries.

An ENT physician will use Balloon Sinuplasty devices to open the blockage that is preventing sinus drainage in order to alleviate the symptoms of chronic sinusitis.
