Chronic Sinusitis Relief that Lasts
Sinus surgery is often used to alleviate symptoms related to chronic sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis is persistent inflammation of the sinuses and is one of the most common health problems in the United States. Symptoms can feel like a never-ending cold and can include congestion, decreased sense of smell, facial pain or pressure, and persistent post-nasal drip.
The new product, Intersect ENT’s PROPEL® Contour sinus stent, was recently approved by the FDA and is placed after surgery to help keep the sinuses open.
The PROPEL Contour is a dissolvable drug-eluting sinus stent that is placed after sinus surgery in the frontal (behind the forehead) or maxillary (behind the cheeks) sinuses. PROPEL Contour incorporates a unique hourglass design that conforms to the sinus openings, delivering medication and mechanical support where it is needed to optimize surgical outcomes. PROPEL Contour is clinically proven to reduce the need for additional interventions (a combination of surgical treatments and/or oral steroids) after sinus surgery by 65 percent.
The PROPEL family of dissolvable drug-eluting sinus stents, which now includes PROPEL Contour, may be used in patients undergoing ethmoid, frontal or maxillary surgeries. This represents the majority of procedures for the treatment of chronic sinusitis.
Don’t Just Treat the Symptoms.

Sinus surgery with PROPEL is clinically proven to provide relief by targeting inflammation, the primary characteristic of chronic sinusitis.
