Better Breathing.
Instantly.
Aire technologies may allow for improved breathing post procedurally and durable long term outcomes.
Aire splints & stents offer considerable advantages over the competition and traditional methods.
Hemostatic
Chitosan-loaded devices aid in minimizing postoperative bleeding*
Antimicrobial
Chitosan-loaded devices provide antimicrobial protection, lowering the risk of infection while facilitating wound healing*
Nasal Obstruction
Nasal Airway Obstruction & Chronic Rhinosinusitis are extremely common diseases with enormous impact on quality of life, the productivity of the workplace, and the annual healthcare spend. 20 million Americans suffer from nasal obstruction, and at least 28.9 million Americans are diagnosed with sinusitis each year (11.6% of Adults), generating over 4.1 million physician visits.
Over 1 million surgical procedures are performed in the US each year to combat these nasal and sinus issues. In addition, an even greater number of cosmetic nasal procedures performed annually
Why Choose Aire
Longer Airway Stabilization
Aire is designed to provide comfortable septum and turbinate stabilization for 2-3 weeks after surgery, to allow these structures to heal in the exact position the surgeon intended. Removal of nasal packing or splints earlier than 2-3 weeks could lead to movement of these structures back to their original shape and location.
Hemostatic
Chitosan has been shown to reduce bleeding and promote wound healing*
Improved Ability to Irrigate
Nasal saline irrigation after nasal procedures is a critical component to optimizing healing. Irrigation is much easier with the open design of the Aire products than alternative splints or packing.
Antimicrobial
Chitosan can confer resistance to bacterial and viral infections*
