Olympus unveils dissolvable post sinus surgery products
|
Olympus America
: 09 January, 2012 (New Product) |
|
Olympus is adding a broad line of advanced, dissolvable sinus spacing and haemostat products to the company's extensive ENT product portfolio. |
|
The products include spacers, foams and powders available in either plant-based or chitosan polysaccharide polymers.
Through a distribution partnership with Hemostasis, the plant-based and chitosan compositions have been formulated to improve post sinus surgery recovery, comfort and healing. All products are biocompatible, dissolve naturally, require no mixing or special storage considerations and are easily conformed to fit nasal anatomy. Additionally, the sinus products minimise oedema, bleeding and prevent post operative adhesions by maintaining space between the upper chambers of the nasal cavities.
"The new offerings extend Olympus' current world-class ENT solutions to surgeons performing sinus and anterior skull base procedures and their patients," commented Perry Mykleby, Vice President of Marketing for Olympus' ENT sales. "We are pleased to collaborate with Hemostasis, a high-quality medical device manufacturer partner, to enhance patient care."
"Haemostasis is committed to providing the most comprehensive, technologically advanced ENT sinus spacing and haemostat technologies that are safe and effective for their intended use," said Hemostasis' President, Keith Roberts. "Working directly with leading physicians, we have developed practical technologies designed to optimize physician usability and efficacy, which ultimately have improved procedure outcomes and enhances overall patient care." |
