    • A simple, easy way to treat eustachian tube dysfunction

    Clear the path. Relieve the pain.

    • Approximately 4.6% of adults in the United States suffer from patulous and obstructive eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD).1 
    • Balloon dilation of the eustachian tube (BDET) is considered a safe procedure and is proven effective in treating obstructive ETD.2

    The NuVent™ eustachian tube dilation balloon is designed specifically to treat persistent, obstructive ETD.3 With an atraumatic tip, a flexible balloon section, and a simple, easy design, the device is designed to be atraumatic during insertion into the eustachian tube.3 The tip is designed not to pass through the bony isthmus.3
