The NGB Balloon Dilation System is intended to provide a means to access the sinus space within and across nasal and sinus structures; dilate the sinus ostia and spaces associated with the paranasal sinus cavities for diagnoutic procedures; irrigate from within a target sinus; suction throughout therapeutic procedures and to facilitate diagnostic procedures. For children aged 17 and under, the NGB Balloon System is intended to provide a means to access the sinus space within and across nasal and sinus structures; dilate sinus ostia and spaces associated with the maxillary sinus for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; irrigate from within the maxillary sinus; suction throughout therapeutic procedures and to facilitate diagnostic procedures. The NGB Balloon Dilation System is intended to dilate the cartilaginous Eustachian tube for treatment of persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction in patients ages 18 and older. The NGB Balloon Dilation System with the navigation guidewire may be utilized in conjunction with the TruDi™ Navigation System, to help direct access to nasal and paranasal spaces, and to confirm placement in the targeted anatomy. NGB may be utilized in conjunction with the TruDi™ NAV Wire to confirm placement of the balloon in the Eustachian tube. The NGB Balloon Dilation System with the illumination guidewire may be utilized to illuminate within and provide transcutaneous illumination across nasal and sinus structures.

The Next Generation Balloon Dilation System (NGB) is an integrated balloon sinuplasty (BSP) and Eustachian tube (ET) dilation device, that will be available in light fiber and navigation guidewire configurations for compatibility with illumination and navigation technology. The system includes a handle with several integrated features to allow for single-handed use. The adjustable gripping feature allows for ergonomic handling. The directable guide tip enables access (i.e. manipulating/separating/dividing tissue) and placement near the targeted anatomy. There are four preset approximate positions: Sphenoid (straight), Eustachian tube (55°), Frontal (70°), Maxillary (110°). The directable guide knob allows for positioning of the balloon tip towards the target anatomy. The wire slider and spinner are used to advance, retract, and rotate the guidewire. The balloon slider is used advance and retract the balloon. The Next Generation Balloon Dilation System also allows for suction and irrigation in and around the target anatomy.
