Flex forward for chronic rhinosinusitis patients 

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide.1 As a surgeon, you do all you can to bring relief to those who live with this condition. But what if you could do even more by having access to technology customized to your needs?

Image-guided navigation takes functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) to the next level, helping you protect patients by:

  • Improving visualization with complex sinus anatomy2-6
  • Optimizing your surgical strategies2-6
  • Reducing major complications7-10 and need for revision surgeries11-13
The StealthStation FlexENT™ surgical navigation system can be configured to fit the needs of the operating room or the clinic.
