Propel Sinus Implant
Propel Sinus Implant in St. Peters, MO
What Is a Propel® Steroid-Eluting Implant?
The Propel® sinus implant is a clinically proven, dissolvable device used primarily for patients undergoing sinus surgery to treat chronic sinusitis. Shaped like a small, flexible lattice, the propel implant is placed by your physician into the ethmoid sinus cavity. Once positioned, it expands to provide physical support to the surgical site. Its most vital feature is the controlled release of mometasone furoate, a therapeutic steroid, directly into the sinus lining. This localized delivery helps minimize swelling and prevent the formation of scar tissue (adhesions) that could otherwise block the newly opened pathways.
Why Are Propel® Sinus Implants Used?
We utilize the Propel mini sinus implant and standard Propel® devices because they address the primary challenges of sinus healing after surgery. Without this support, the delicate tissues in the nasal cavity can become inflamed or scarred, potentially leading to a recurrence of symptoms. By using a Propel® sinus implant, we can ensure the results of your procedure are preserved, allowing you to breathe freely and reducing the likelihood of future obstructions. It is an invitation to heal more efficiently with the help of modern medical engineering.
Propel® Sinus Implant Benefits
Benefits of the Propel® sinus implant include:
- Reduced inflammation and scarring
- Lower need for oral steroids
- Faster, more predictable healing
- Reduced risk of sinus obstruction recurrence
- Recovery in as little as 2–3 weeks for many patients
