Using the Ventera System
Sinus Dilation Balloon
The Ventera Sinus Dilation Balloon is designed to provide optimal access to the frontal, sphenoid, and maxillary sinuses while minimizing disposable costs for the procedure. It easily interfaces with the delivery instrument and is provided sterile.
Articulating Delivery Instrument
The reusable Ventera Delivery Instruments are built on the proven SerpENT® platform of articulating instruments. These instruments enable the surgeon to easily articulate the balloon into several positions for accessing the desired sinus cavity. The 10111 (orange) instrument has five lockable positions for accessing the sphenoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses. The 10222 (blue) instrument has two positions, specifically for accessing the frontal sinuses.
Standard Balloon Inflation Device
The Ventera System is compatible with analog inflation devices featuring a standard luer lock connector, a maximum inflation pressure of 20 or 30 atm, and a plunger lock. The balloon is recommended to be inflated to 8-10 atm.
Example of standard inflation device.
Technical Specs
The 2 mm guide tip diameter is similar to standard frontal and maxillary seekers. The shorter, 10 mm balloon length facilitates controlled dilation and the 6 mm balloon diameter is optimal for dilating the frontal, sphenoid, and maxillary sinuses.
