CATHETER ASSEMBLY

Abstract

A catheter assembly for use in septoturbinatoplasty procedures. The catheter has a shaft and a primary balloon which comprises a base for positioning against the nasal floor, a roof opposed from the base and a side surface extending therebetween for bearing against a nasal septum and/or an inferior turbinate. The base has a width greater than the roof in a direction transverse to the axis of the shaft. The balloon can be inserted into a patients nasal cavity and inflated to realign the patient's septum and/or treat the turbinate.
