More Information
Summary:Implants are placed in turbinate mucosal tissue using a surgical device having a proximal grip portion and a distal sharp needle portion that is manipulated using the grip portion and inserted submucosally into mucosal turbinate tissue. One or more biodegradable, drug-eluting solid implants are disposed within or attached to the needle. The implants have one or more implant withdrawal-discouraging, mucosal tissue-engaging surface features along their length. The device is used to deliver one or more of the implants into mucosal turbinate tissue and submucosally bury at least one such tissue-engaging feature therein.
