Duncavage holds a patent for the Sphenoid Sinus Stent. This device is specifically designed for use in treating chronic sphenoid sinusitis. The stent comprises a soft compressible plastic tube of a predetermined diameter, featuring a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between them. Notably, the stent has a generally hemispherical hollow dome integrally molded to its distal end, with a diameter greater than that of the plastic tube. Additionally, it includes an integrally molded annular flange located a short predetermined distance proximal to the hemispherical dome. This innovative design allows the stent to be fitted through a surgically enlarged ostium of the sphenoid sinus, ensuring that the dome resides within the sinus cavity while the flange abuts the bony wall surrounding the ostium. The stent maintains the ostium patent and permits irrigation and suctioning via its lumen.
