What Is a Steroid Sinus Implant (Steroid Stent)?
A steroid sinus implant, also called a steroid stent, is a small medical device placed inside the sinus after sinus surgery.
It delivers controlled anti-inflammatory medication directly into the sinus cavity to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Prevent scar tissue formation
- Keep sinus openings open
- Improve healing
- Reduce need for oral steroids
These implants are widely used in advanced sinus surgery centers.
Why Steroid Sinus Implants Are Used After Sinus Surgery in Dubai
Steroid implants are used to optimize healing after procedures such as:
- Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
- Revision sinus surgery
- Nasal polyp removal
- Balloon sinuplasty in selected cases
They significantly improve surgical outcomes.
