A Clinical Evaluation of the Steroid-Eluting Sinexus Intranasal Splint When Used Following Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Patients With Chronic Sinusitis

This study allows continued access to the Sinexus Intranasal Splint while a marketing application is being prepared. This study will generate additional performance, reimbursement and safety data for the steroid-eluting Sinexus Intranasal Splint when used following Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) in patients with chronic sinusitis (CS).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety as Determined by the Frequency of Serious Adverse Local Tissue Response (SALT)
Time Frame: 30 days
30 days
Device Placement Success Rate
Time Frame: At the time of procedure
A proportion where the numerator is the number of successful device placements and denominator is the number of attempted sinuses.
At the time of procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assessment of Changes From Baseline in Intra-ocular Pressure and Lens Opacities
Time Frame: Baseline and 30 days
Ocular safety was characterized by assessing the frequency and severity of changes from baseline in intra-ocular pressure and lens opacities. No specific pass/fail criteria we specified.
Baseline and 30 days
Number of Sinuses With Significant Post-operative Adhesion Formation
Time Frame: 30 days
Adhesions were graded on a 5 point categorical scale with grades 3 and 4 considered clinically significant. 0=none, 1=small/non-obstructing, 2=obstructing/easily separated, 3=dense/obstructing/difficult to separate, and 4=severe/complete adhesion to lateral nasal wall.
30 days
