      ARM YOURSELF WITH THE PROPEL FAMILY OF IMPLANTS, AN INNOVATION IN SINUS TECHNOLOGY

      PROPEL is the FIRST and ONLY PMA-approved steroid-eluting sinus implant4

      OPENS + DELIVERS

      PROPEL keeps the sinuses open while releasing MF

      PROPEL implants feature an innovative 2-in-1 mechanism that opens the sinuses while delivering mometasone furoate (MF), a potent corticosteroid, directly where it is needed1-3

      +OPENS the sinus cavity

      • Self-expanding design that opens and supports the sinus cavity1

      • Non-obstructive design allows for sinus mucociliary clearance and the delivery of topical rinses1

      • Dissolvable frame bio-absorbs over 30-45 days after placement as the sinus cavity heals

      +DELIVERS MF locally

      • Delivers 370 μg of MF over 30 days

      • MF present in the sinus mucosal tissue for up to 60 days5

      Mometasone furoate delivers the ideal combination of potency and safety

      ‡As measured by plasma concentration of drug from intranasal vs. intravenous route.

      Mometasone furoate was selected for use in PROPEL implants for its optimal sinonasal drug characteristics10:

      Highly lipophilic
      Readily absorbs into tissue

      Targeted and potent
      High glucocorticoid receptor affinity

      Low systemic bioavailability
      Minimizes systemic effects

      PROPEL implants are clinically proven to maintain patency and improve patient outcomes following ESS by targeting inflammation, the underlying cause of chronic rhinosinusitis

      The PROPEL sinus implants are indicated to maintain patency and locally deliver steroid to the sinus mucosa in patients ≥18 years of age after sinus surgery: PROPEL for the ethmoid sinus, PROPEL Mini for the ethmoid sinus/frontal sinus opening, and PROPEL Contour for the frontal/maxillary sinus ostia. Contraindications include patients with intolerance to mometasone furoate (MF) or hypersensitivity to bioabsorbable polymers. Safety and effectiveness of the implant in pregnant or nursing females have not been studied. Risks may include, but are not limited to, pain/pressure, displacement of the implant, possible side effects of intranasal MF, sinusitis, epistaxis, and infection. For full prescribing information see IFU at www.IntersectENT.com/technologies/. Rx only.
