PROPEL is a dissolvable implant placed in the sinuses during surgery to support healing. About the size of a small spring, it delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the sinus tissue, helping reduce swelling and keeping the airways open during recovery. By minimizing scarring and the need for additional interventions, PROPEL is a helpful tool for patients undergoing sinus surgery.
PROPEL implants are placed at the end of sinus surgery, after any blockages or polyps have been removed. Once the sinuses are cleared, the surgeon inserts the small, spring-like implants into the sinus openings.
These implants gradually release medication to reduce inflammation and help keep the sinus passages open during the healing process. Because the implants dissolve on their own, no additional procedure is needed to remove them. This targeted approach supports recovery and helps reduce the chance of post-surgical complications.
