PosiSep®X Is a Resorbable Hemostatic Nasal Spacer and comes in a dry, low profile, easily customizable form. Once inserted and hydrated with sterile saline it becomes as a firm sponge and expands within the nasal cavity providing structural support and tissue separation. Thus serving as a resorbable spacer during the acute healing period. PosiSep X is frequently used in FESS, Turbinate Reductions, Polypectomy and Sinuplasty procedures and is hemostatic due to the well studied properties of Chiotsan.
