Smith&Nephew RR900 Rapid Rhino Nasal Cath. Posterior Epistaxis

The Smith & Nephew RR900 Rapid Rhino Nasal Catheter is a specialized medical device designed for the effective management of posterior epistaxis, commonly known as a nosebleed from the posterior nasal cavity. Posterior epistaxis can be challenging to treat due to its location, and this innovative product provides a rapid and efficient solution for controlling bleeding. 

Key Features and Benefits

Efficient Hemostasis
The Rapid Rhino Nasal Catheter is engineered to provide immediate and effective hemostasis for posterior nasal bleeding. Its design incorporates a proprietary hydrocolloid fabric and a balloon system that work together to exert gentle pressure on the bleeding site, promoting clot formation and stopping the bleed. This efficient mechanism is crucial for managing severe epistaxis and preventing further complications.

Hydrocolloid Fabric
The catheter features a hydrocolloid fabric, which is known for its excellent moisture-retaining properties. This fabric helps to soothe the nasal mucosa and reduce discomfort during insertion and inflation. The hydrocolloid also aids in the gentle removal of the catheter, minimizing trauma to the nasal passage and enhancing patient comfort during the procedure.

Inflatable Balloon Technology
The inflatable balloon component of the Rapid Rhino Nasal Catheter provides controlled pressure to the posterior nasal cavity. Once inserted, the balloon is inflated with air to the desired size, ensuring effective compression of the bleeding site. The balloon’s design allows it to conform to the unique anatomy of the nasal cavity, providing optimal contact and hemostatic efficacy.

Easy and Quick Application
The Rapid Rhino Nasal Catheter is designed for rapid deployment in emergency situations. Its intuitive design allows healthcare professionals to insert and inflate the catheter quickly, minimizing the time required to achieve hemostasis. This is particularly beneficial in emergency departments and urgent care settings, where timely intervention is critical.

Patient Comfort and Safety
Smith & Nephew prioritizes patient comfort and safety in the design of the Rapid Rhino Nasal Catheter. The soft materials and smooth surface of the catheter reduce irritation and discomfort during insertion and removal. Additionally, the gentle pressure exerted by the balloon minimizes the risk of tissue damage, making it a safe and effective choice for treating posterior epistaxis.
