Clinical Application
Designed for controlled access to the frontal recess and frontal sinus, this cannula is used to irrigate saline or topical solutions, aspirate mucus or debris, and facilitate delivery or removal of fluids during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), frontal sinusotomy, and select office-based rhinology procedures. Its narrow profile helps minimize trauma to the mucosa while providing a direct lumen for irrigation and suction maneuvers.
Design & Configuration
The Siebenmann pattern provides a slim, rigid hollow tube that balances lumen size and external profile to negotiate the confined anatomy of the frontal recess. The 1.7 mm diameter offers a low-profile passage for irrigation and aspiration without obstructing endoscopic visualization, and the 15 cm length gives adequate reach from the anterior nostril to the frontal sinus in typical adult anatomy. The straight cannula geometry supports precise, controlled positioning and consistent flow characteristics during syringe or suction-assisted use.
