Acclarent’s RELIEVA SCOUT Sinus Dilator Now Available in U.S.
Acclarent, a J&J firm, is releasing in the U.S. its RELIEVA SCOUT multi-sinus dilation system, a balloon sinuplasty device for widening the sinus openings in people with chronic sinusitis.
The device uses a flexible balloon that reaches a bit further out from the tip to be able to get deeper into the anatomy.
From Acclarent:
RELIEVA SCOUT® Sinus Dilation System was specifically designed for use in revision and complex frontal sinus cases, offering multiple points of localization including optical navigation compatibility.
Tested with the Brainlab Kolibri® system using ‘pivot’ method calibration. Acclarent has not performed compatibility testing with other image guidance systems.
Seeker-like distal tip leverages traditional technique and skills
Ball tip enables palpation
Low-profile tip helps maintain visualization of surrounding anatomy
Flexible wire transilluminates for additional access and position confirmation
Compatible with optical navigation systems
