PROPEL® SINUS STENT

Chronic Sinusitis Relief that Lasts

Propel® Sinus Stent implant is clinically proven to improve surgical outcomes for chronic sinusitis sufferers.  The stent device helps to keep sinuses open, help deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the healing tissues, and then dissolve. Propel®’s spring-like, lightweight design means patients usually cannot even tell that it is there.

Propel® dissolves within 45 days, so no removal procedure is necessary.
