?:definition
  • Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) needed for insertion of a catheter into the nasal sinuses. Items in these kits usually include a sinus dilation catheter, an illumination system, guide wires, auxiliary irrigation and balloon catheters, and extension tubes; the kit may also include devices that permit its integration with stereotactic navigation systems. The kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Nasal sinus surgical kits are intended mainly to enlarge the patient\'s sinus openings, clearing the passageways and restoring normal sinus ventilation and drainage; they are also used in other minimally invasive functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) procedures.
