Chronic rhinitis is drawing more attention from medical device makers in recent years, with solutions including cryotherapy and temperature-controlled radiofrequency disruption of posterior nasal nerves to halt the condition.
Aerin Medical Inc., an Austin, Texas-based company focused on minimally invasive solutions for chronic nasal conditions, has won U.S. FDA clearance for the Rhinaer Stylus to treat chronic rhinitis. The Rhinaer procedure can be performed under a local anesthetic in an ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician’s office, with no incisions and minimal discomfort.
