It is well known that localized drug delivery reduces the need for postoperative interventions in sinus surgeries and is more desirable than systemic drug delivery. However, it has been challenging to provide localized drug delivery for extended periods of time to many sinus locations, especially the frontal ostia. Vectra revolutionizes that. Vectra places localized drug delivery in the hands of the surgeon.
