Irrigation and/or aspiration devices and methods may be configured to aspirate and irrigate alone, sequentially, or concurrently. The devices and methods may provide a base with a removable head, and adapted for partial or complete separation of the irrigation and aspiration functions. The devices and methods can be configured to aspirate and/or irrigate the nasal and sinus cavities. The devices and methods may be manually and/or automatically controlled. The devices and methods may include removable, and/or replaceable, and/or refillable, and easily cleanable reservoirs for aspirant and irrigant. The device head and/or aspirant reservoir may comprise a diagnostic device, i.e., test device and/or container after use of the devices and methods.

Irrigation and aspiration device and method

Irrigation and aspiration device and methods

A system for dilating the sinus ostia with a device including a series of elongated members, each having a central channel and increasing outer diameters where the members are positioned one over the other such that the members are advanced to incrementally dilate the sinus ostia. The central channels of each member allow for various procedures to be performed including, for example, the application of wireless energy (e.g., ultrasonic, RF, etc.) to the sinus ostia, the introduction of an irrigating fluid and aspiration from the sinus ostia, and the introduction of a drug to the sinus ostia.

Sinus ostia dilation system

A system for dilating a body cavity with a device including a series of elongated members, each having a central channel and increasing outer diameters where the members are positioned one over the other such that the members are advanced into the body cavity to incrementally dilate the body cavity. The central channels of each member allow for various procedures to be performed including, for example, the application of wireless energy (e.g., ultrasonic) to the body cavity, the introduction of an irrigating fluid and aspiration from the body cavity, and the introduction of a drug to the body cavity.

Body cavity dilation system

Methods and systems for delivering fluids, aerosols, and/or acoustic energy to target sites on tissue surfaces and within body cavities or lumens, obstructions or undesired materials associated with body cavities and tissue surfaces and, particularly, target sites on tissue surfaces or at obstructions within natural orifices, such as ear, nose and throat passages and, particularly, nasal passages and cavities, are provided. Delivery of acoustic energy may be accomplished using a flexible, expandable member adapted to be expanded at a target site using an acoustically transmissive material for delivery of acoustic energy to tissue surfaces in irregularly configured tissue cavities and passageways.

Methods and systems for delivery of acoustic energy to tissue surfaces, cavities and obstructed passages such as intranasal ostia

An irrigation and aspiration system is disclosed. The system can be configured to aspirate and irrigate alone, sequentially or concurrently. The system can be configured to aspirate and irrigate the nasal cavity. The system can be manually controlled. The system can have removable and easily cleanable reservoirs for aspirant and irrigant.
