You are looking at inferior turbinate reduction.This inferior turbinate blade let's doctors achieve the goals volumetric reduction (just like liposuction) to the inferior turbinate while avoiding unpredictable collateral thermal damage to surrounding tissue.Offers a significantly lower re-hypertrophy rate than electrocautery.Minimal post -op crusting because the mucosal lining is preserved.Less risk of osteitis(inflammation) of the turbinate bone.Decreased postoperative pain compared to traditional and electrosurgical techniques.Instant gratification and long term results for you and your patients....For more information about the inferior turbinate blade contact medtronic ENT customer service at 1-800-874-5797.....or www.obstructednose.com." and www.xomed.com This procedure may prevent EMPTY NOSE SYNDROME because it preserves air flow sensors(located on surface of turbinate mucosa). Air flow sensors sence temperature and air movement when you breath through your nose.This is NOT coblation or somnoplasty(radio waves that produce heat to shrink turbinate).This is NOT a turbinectomy(complete removal of turbinate).This is NOT mutilation of turbinate as in other procedures.This is NOT electrocautery or cauterization(burning away of turbinate).I AM NOT A DOCTOR, I DON'T REPRESENT MEDTRONICS OR WWW.XOMED.COM OR ENDORSE ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS,I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP....DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND TALK TO MANY DOCTORS....FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO WWW.OBSTRUCTEDNOSE.COM...CLICK ON PHYSICIANS ONLY TO SEE TURBINATE BLADE AND THIS VIDEO.GOOD LUCK!
