Details: Is a nasal balloon for ventilating the Eustachian tube to relieve negative pressure in the middle ear. Consists of two parts, a latex balloon and a polypropylene nosepiece, which are joined together before use. It is a non-sterile, reusable medical device. Helps equalize pressure in the middle ear by inflating a balloon via the nose using the auto-inflation technique. Auto-inflation with a nasal balloon increases nasal pressure, allowing the Eustachian tube to open. When the Eustachian tube is opened with the treatment, the middle ear is ventilated, fluid can be drained, and symptoms are relieved. Negative pressure in the middle ear can manifest itself through symptoms such as a blocked ear, impaired hearing, pain/discomfort, heaviness, or dizziness. Causes of negative middle ear pressure include: - Inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx (e.g. colds, runny nose) - Middle ear infections (increased susceptibility in small children) - Allergic diseases - Chronic inflammation in the nasopharynx - Rapid pressure changes, e.g. when diving or in an airplane (barotrauma) If negative pressure in the middle ear is not treated, it can lead to middle ear effusion, also known as secretory otitis or "sticky ear", with a build-up of fluid in the middle ear. Problems equalizing negative pressure can arise due to a malfunction of the Eustachian tube and can be the result of inflammation of the upper respiratory tract or acute otitis media, or can occur in connection with flying, diving or hyperbaric chamber treatment.
