PolypVac is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove nasal polyps right in the office — without the need for traditional surgery.
Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that can form in the nasal passages and sinuses, often leading to congestion, reduced airflow, and breathing issues. With PolypVac, your provider can gently clear these blockages, helping you breathe easier and feel better—often with little downtime.
PolypVac is performed comfortably in the office using local anesthesia.
Your ENT specialist inserts a slim medical instrument into the nasal passage to gently remove the polyps using light suction and precision tools. The process is quick, usually well-tolerated, and avoids the recovery time associated with traditional sinus surgery. Most patients are able to return to their normal routine shortly after the visit.
PolypVac is used to treat nasal polyposis, a condition characterized by the development of soft, noncancerous growths in the nasal passages and sinuses. These polyps can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including:
By removing the polyps, PolypVac helps restore clearer breathing and overall sinus comfort.
PolypVac is designed to treat the nasal passages and sinus cavities, specifically the areas where nasal polyps tend to form. These soft tissue growths most commonly develop along the lining of the sinuses and inside the nasal airway, making these areas the primary focus of the procedure.
PolypVac may be right for you if you’ve been dealing with ongoing nasal congestion, trouble breathing through your nose, or a diminished sense of smell due to nasal polyps. It’s often recommended for patients who haven’t found lasting relief with medications or are looking to avoid more invasive sinus surgery.
