Abstract
A device for use during sinus surgery comprises a housing, a pair of straps connected to the housing for attaching the housing to a patient's head so that the housing is juxtaposed to an eyeball of the patient, and a pressurization component mounted to the housing for automatically exerting a varying pressure on the patient's eyeball. The pressure exerted is controlled to provide a regular pulsation of the eye in the event that the bony orbit between the sinus cavity and the eye is thin or perforated.
