EpiStax™

The EpiStax™ is a two-balloon epistaxis catheter designed to control intranasal bleeding. The two independently inflatable balloons assist with pressure control in the anterior and posterior chambers. The smaller balloon controls posterior bleeding while the larger balloon controls anterior bleeding.

The EpiStax™ is available with or without an inflation syringe. The optional syringe is used to expand the balloons with normal saline. The volume of saline injected determines the size and pressure of the balloons, resulting in a controlled, uniform pressure to manage bleeding. The integral airway tube allows for nasal breathing while the balloons are inflated.

Designed for patient comfort, the EpiStax™ is made from soft, medical-grade silicone. The beveled posterior tip and soft silicone construction allows for easy placement and prevents adhesion for easy removal.
