Description
Medtronic Xomed 1921002 Hydrodebrider Frontal Handpiece
Part # 1921002 Exp 7/19, 3/18
Medtronic Xomed 1921002 Hydrodebrider Frontal Handpiece is part of the Hydrodebrider System, which is an innovative chronic sinusitis treatment from Medtronic that uses pressurized sinus irrigation to help remove bacteria that cause ongoing sinus infections
- 2.2 mm diameter for accessing the hard-to-reach frontal sinuses
- May be used with olive-tip suction for fluid removal
ABOUT THE HYDRODEBRIDER ENDOSCOPIC SINUS IRRIGATION SYSTEM:
Research indicates that bacterial infections are intimately associated with chronic rhinosinusitis. The Hydrodebrider System from Medtronic is an innovative chronic sinusitis treatment, resulting in bacterial reduction in vitro.
Winner of a Medical Device Excellence Award, it’s the first and only powered sinus irrigation system for removing bacteria from the paranasal sinuses, in the operating room or the office.
Medtronic Xomed 1921002 Hydrodebrider Frontal Handpiece delivers a rotating spray of pressurized saline at 5 mL/sec, enabling access to all of the sinuses for direct sinus irrigation and fluid removal.
WHY IT’S NEEDED:
Various factors can contribute to the initial inflammatory event that leads to chronic sinusitis. For many patients, standard medical and surgical treatments are effective. But some patients will continue having bouts of infection, despite repeated antibiotics, steroids, surgeries, and other sinusitis treatments. Numerous studies implicate bacterial infections as contributing agents to chronic sinusitis. Traditional medical and surgical therapies may not provide effective long-term sinusitis treatment in these cases.
The Hydrodebrider System is intended to remove bacteria from the paranasal sinuses. In vitro research shows that our Hydrodebrider sinusitis treatment is more effective at disrupting bacteria than saline lavage. Research demonstrated a 99% reduction in bacterial coverage in vitro in chronic sinusitis specimens treated with the Hydrodebrider System.
WHY IT’S BETTER THAN TRADITIONAL NASAL LAVAGE:
Our innovative Hydrodebrider System has two main advantages: power and access. Research shows traditional nasal lavage performed by patients does not reach all areas of the sinuses and is less effective at removing bacteria than powered sinus irrigation.
The Hydrodebrider system’s rotating spray enables direct irrigation and suction of all surfaces of the paranasal sinus. In addition, laboratory studies have shown that the spray from the Hydrodebrider System is much more powerful than a traditional saline rinse and better able to dislodge bacteria.
In Perfect sealed condition but past expiration date. Not for human use in the US.
Expiration dates have mostly to do with sterilization and not the integrity of the product. The manufacturers sterilize the products after they are packaged and it lasts so many years. The only products we caution customers about are ones that are absorbable or drug coated.
There is a $125 minimum order due to the cost of shipping. You can add items from different specialties it just needs to be $125 or more in order to complete the transaction.
