"As the first sinus dilation system for revision surgery and the first with built-in electromagnetic tracking, NuVent is an example of transformative technology that provides meaningful benefits to patients and physicians and it has the potential to help improve patient outcomes and reduce out-of-pocket costs," said Vince Racano, vice president and general manager of Medtronic's ENT business, which is part of the Restorative Therapies Group at Medtronic. "Our innovative image-guided system used with NuVent provides surgeons with a detailed view of the sinus anatomy during the procedure and may enhance precision and allow physicians to help more patients in office."
NuVent now offers a 70° angled frontal probe, which is a familiar angle for sinus surgery, to be used with the FUSION system. Additionally, a compact version of Medtronic's FUSION(TM) system called FUSION Compact(TM) system was recently launched. This modular, portable system gives physicians the freedom to use navigation where they need it.
