EPI-STOP™ EPISTAXIS CATHETER

DESCRIPTION:

The EPI-STOP™ is a single balloon epistaxis catheter with integral airway designed for both nasal packing and control of anterior nasal bleeds.  As a packing, it can be used following septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and other intra-nasal surgical procedures.  The included syringe is used to expand the balloon with normal saline.  The volume of saline injected determines the ultimate size and pressure of the balloon.  The result is a controlled uniform pressure to manage bleeding.  The airway tube provides a passage for breathing while the balloon is inflated.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

For control of anterior nasal epistaxis.
For nasal packing following septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and other intra-nasal surgical procedures.
