Causal therapy for tube dysfunction

Approximately 1 – 5 % of the world‘s population suffers from Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD).1, 2 Balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube has been established as a minimally invasive causal therapy for obstructive ETD. Recognized as a safe and effective procedure, BET has been widely studied. Multiple studies have demonstrated that the TubaVent® Balloon Catheter can successfully restore normal ear function, leading to high patient TubaVent® short satisfaction.3, 4 Since its launch in 2010 in Europe, TubaVent® has been used in over 125,000 cases worldwide, solidifying its position as a trusted solution for ETD treatment.
