PROPEL is a lightweight, dissolvable stent placed following surgery to keep the sinus open while delivering anti-inflammatory medicine.1

PROPEL delivers medication directly to the sinus.

Your doctor will place the dissolvable PROPEL stent at the end of surgery. Your PROPEL stent will continue to deliver needed medication for up to 30 days. It dissolves while it’s in your nose, so removal isn’t needed.1 Your physician may choose to remove PROPEL sooner.
