Chronic Sinusitis
Treatment
Our surgeons offer PROPEL®, an advanced sinusitis treatment
for patients undergoing sinus surgery. PROPEL® is the first and
only device clinically shown to improve the outcome of nasal
surgery performed to treat chronic sinusitis.
How does PROPEL® work?
PROPEL® is a small, lightweight device implanted into the nasal
cavity after surgery to ensure sinuses remain open. The spring-like
device delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the
healing tissues. Since the device dissolves on its own, there is no
need for removal.
