POSISEP® HEMOSTAT DRESSING/INTRANASAL SPLINT
Different Platforms for Your Individual Needs"
Recognizing that each surgeon’s preferences and the anatomy of each patient’s sinuses are not identical, Hemostasis has developed multiple platforms of our PosiSep® hemostat sinus splints to meet those varying needs.
PosiSep® Hemostat Dressings/Intranasal Splints are indicated for use in patients undergoing nasal/sinus surgery as a space occupying splint and hemostat to:
-
Separate tissue or structures compromised by surgical trauma;
-
Separate and prevent adhesions between mucosal surfaces during mesothelial cell regeneration in the nasal cavity;
-
Help control minimal bleeding following surgery or trauma;
-
Help control minimal bleeding following surgery or nasal trauma by tamponade effect, blood absorption and platelet aggregation; and
-
Act as an adjunct to aid in the natural healing process.
-
PosiSep is indicated for use as a nasal hemostat to treat epistaxis.
-
PosiSep is intended for use under the direction of a licensed healthcare provider.

It is well known that localized drug delivery reduces the need for postoperative interventions in sinus surgeries and is more desirable than systemic drug delivery. However, it has been challenging to provide localized drug delivery for extended periods of time to many sinus locations, especially the frontal ostia. Vectra revolutionizes that. Vectra places localized drug delivery in the hands of the surgeon.
