Primary Endpoint
This study will evaluate the efficacy of nasopore stent soaked in bacitracin in and one stent soaked in gentaymcin antibiotic solution

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a stenting material called Nasopore. This is a synthetic material approved by FDA for use as a stent in postoperative sinus surgery patients. This study will compare the Nasopore stent to other approved stenting materials.

Detailed Description

This study will compare other sinus stenting products to the Nasopore stent. The stents will be soaked in antibiotic solutions and be observed for how well they perform. Subjects will have a stent placed in each sinus, stents may be the standard antibiotic saturated materials or the new nasopore material or nasopore stent soaked in antibiotics.

Arms & Interventions

Merogel stent vs. Nasopore Stent

Active Comparator

This study has two arms consiting of 50 subjects each (100 total) Arm 1 will recieve the standard stent (merogel)in their right sinus and a nasopore stent in their left sinus.

Intervention: Merogel Nasal Stent and Nasopore Stent (Drug)

bacitracin vs. gentamicin treated stent

Experimental

The second arm will consist of 50 new subjects. These 50 subjects will have a nasopore stent placed in the left sinus. The first 25 subjects will have nasopore stent placed postoperatively with a bacitracin soaked nasopore in right sinus the second 25 will have a gentamycin soaked nasopore stent in right sinus.

Intervention: Merogel Nasal Stent and Nasopore Stent (Drug)

bacitracin vs. gentamicin treated stent

Experimental

The second arm will consist of 50 new subjects. These 50 subjects will have a nasopore stent placed in the left sinus. The first 25 subjects will have nasopore stent placed postoperatively with a bacitracin soaked nasopore in right sinus the second 25 will have a gentamycin soaked nasopore stent in right sinus.

Intervention: Nasopore Stent and either Gentamycin or Bacitracin (Drug)
