Medtronic won FDA clearance for its NuVent EM sinus dilation device to be used with patients having scarred, granulated, and surgically affected tissues, typically coming in for a revision procedure. The device uses electromagnetic and image guided navigation via the Fusion ENT Navigation System to help place the balloon before inflation. It calibrates automatically, and is designed to make inflation easy.
“As the first sinus dilation system for revision surgery and the first with built-in electromagnetic tracking, NuVent is an example of transformative technology that provides meaningful benefits to patients and physicians and it has the potential to help improve patient outcomes and reduce out-of-pocket costs,” said Vince Racano, vice president and general manager of Medtronic’s ENT business. “Our innovative image-guided system used with NuVent provides surgeons with a detailed view of the sinus anatomy during the procedure and may enhance precision and allow physicians to help more patients in office.”
