Applicator for intranasal avitene

Microfibrillar collagen hemostat (Avitene) is a readily available, effective method of controlling bleeding following turbinate resection. The granular form, when introduced by syringe, allows the Avitene to conform to the irregularities of the cavity into which it is introduced. This method has simplified management of difficult bleeding problems found in the deep recesses of the nasal cavity.
