SinoJect®
SinoJect® is a unique device to simplify the puncture and irrigation of the maxillary sinus following purulent sinusitis. By using the spring activated puncture instrument, a staytube catheter is inserted into the maxillary sinus by penetrating the sinus wall without any additional force. Irrigation is then performed, using the lavage tube.
- Minimum trauma and bleeding
Should repeated irrigations be necessary, the staytube may be left in place, reducing the necessity for additional anesthetic procedures and repunctures, which minimizes the discomfort for the patient. The procedure also causes minimum trauma with hardly any pain or tendency to bleeding.
- Safety is a central feature in the SinoJect system. Since the puncture needle is injected via a spring coil to a depth of only 1 cm the risk of injuring neighboring structure is highly reduced.
