Sinuva

SINUVA is for adult patients with nasal polyps who have previously received an ethmoid sinus surgery and require further treatment. This nasal implant is placed with a minimally invasive, in-office procedure. Once inserted it is designed to open in the sinus and deliver anti-inflammatory medication.

SINUVA uses advanced technology and medicine to reduce nasal polyps, nasal congestion and nasal obstructions. It is a non-surgical sinus procedure delivered into the sinus cavity through the nasal opening during a routine office visit. It usually cannot be felt once it’s in place and can be removed after 90 days or earlier at your doctor’s discretion.

How is SINUVA placed?

SINUVA is placed with an in office minimally invasive procedure. After applying a numbing agent to your nose, one of our highly trained doctors will place the SINUVA implant into your nostril on the end of a delivery system, and place the implant within your sinus.

Is SINUVA safe?

The safety of this implant was established with 400 patients over 2 clinical trials. Some side-effects observed in clinical studies were bronchitis, upper respiratory or middle ear infection, headache, lightheadedness, asthma, and nose bleed

The risks from SINUVA are similar to those associated with other endoscopic sinus procedures, such as nose bleed, injuries to blood vessels, and bacterial infection. SINUVA is not for people with hypersensitivity to corticosteroids or those with nasal ulcers or trauma.
