For anatomies big and small, our line of epistaxis products accommodates patients’ individual needs by offering anterior and posterior options in a range of sizes.
Epistaxis products incorporate RAPID RHINO◊ technology, a proprietary blend of CarboxyMethyl Cellulose (CMC). This CMC-infused fabric contains self-lubricating properties that when wet take on a gel consistency for ease of insertion and removal. The ultra-low profile of our epistaxis solutions quickly conforms to anatomy, and provides a gentle, even compression to the nasal area.
