Clinical Application
Designed for use in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), the instrument provides controlled, blunt dilation of the frontal recess and frontal sinus ostium. It is indicated for primary and revision procedures to enlarge a stenotic or scarred frontal outflow tract, improve ventilatory drainage, and facilitate endoscopic access for visualization and instrumentation.
Design & Configuration
The rigid 16 cm shaft length provides reach from the external hand position to the frontal recess under endoscopic guidance. A 4.5 mm dilating tip delivers incremental, tactile expansion of the ostial aperture while minimizing soft-tissue trauma, allowing surgeons to perform precise, controlled dilation under direct visualization. The hand-held configuration supports fine manual control during delicate frontal sinus maneuvers.
