Choanal Balloon Catheter

Choanal Balloon, made of latex, length approximately 28 cm, with stylet (length approx. 18 cm) and retention threads (length approx. 18 cm), valve for Luer- and Luer-Lock syringe tips, sterile.

 

Application: Control of severe nasal haemorrhaging

• Simple insertion through the nostril with a stylet using local anaesthesia on a conscious patient (local anaesthetic not always necessary)
• Distinctly less painful than a Bellocq nasal pack
• Mucosa-sparing procedure, no trauma to nasal columella and nasal septum
• The smooth surface reduces bacterial growth in the epipharynx and reliably closes it off from the main nasal cavity
• No annoying retention threads in the pharynx
• Reduced irritation of the mucosa of the epipharynx
• Elastic fixation of the inflated choanal balloon with a conventional anterior nasal pack and a high degree of elasticity of the latex material ensure optimum positioning
• The anterior nasal pack is largely prevented from receding by the elasticity of the shaft
• The packing effect can be improved by simply reinflating the choanal balloon
• Simple, patient-friendly removal of the nasal pack
• Sterile

Antra^® - Maxillary Sinus Anatomic Support Balloon Catheter

Antra is a tetrahedral balloon made from medical grade silicone with a Dacron^® reinforced, white marked, non-elastic support surface for the orbital floor. This support surface remains largely flat when inflated and forms the ideal buttress for the fractured orbital floor in the maxillary sinus.

Applications:

• Support for fractured and repositioned maxillary sinus walls, particularly the orbital floor
• Tamponade of the operative cavity for hemostasis and improved re-epithelialization of exposed bone in Denker’s maxillary sinus procedure and tumor surgery in the main nasal cavity

 

---

Features and Benefits:

• Reinforced supporting surface for the orbital floor
• Medical grade silicone with maximum tissue tolerance - therefore no microbic contamination and faster re-epithelialization
• Optimal positioning
• X-ray contrast (filled with a saline-Conray mixture 1:1)
• Prevents transluminal scars (Caldwell-Luc, Denker)
• Sterile

Ethmo^® - The Anatomical Ethmoid Cavity Tampon

The anatomical balloon has a straight, dacron reinforced, non-elastic supporting surface for the rhino base. On account of its special design it can be used individually as a tampon in surgery of flat cranial cavities.

Applications:

Ethmoid surgery

Arrest of hemorrhaging

Minimization of cicatrical restenosis and crust growth

Support of re-epithelialization of the bone surface

Frontal sinus surgery

• Arrest of hemorrhaging
• Improved opening of the infundibulum
• Support of the anterior wall after osteoplastic surgery

 

Traumatology and tumor surgery of the cranial base

• Optimal fracture support

• Long-term tampon and space retainer

• Support of the reconstructed rhinological base

• Dural fixation

Features and Benefits:

• Medical grade silicone with maximum tissue tolerance - therefore no microbic contamination and faster re-epithelialization

• Optimal positioning

• X-ray contrast (filled with a saline-Conray mixture, 1:1)

• Long-term use

• Less crust formation

• Less cicratization

• Single, sterile packaging

Epistaxis Balloon Catheter

• Double-balloon catheter with two independently inflatable balloons
• The smaller balloon (10 cc) serves for stopping the bleeding in the nasopharynx
• The larger balloon (30 cc) stops bleeding within the main nasal cavity
• Integral airway allows post-op nasal breathing
• Slightly curved shape and flattened tip for easier insertion
• Sterile
• Material: Silicone; PP (Polypropylene)
