The Sinuwave system will treat patients with chronic #sinusitis for whom medical & surgical therapies have been ineffective. Sinuwave is not for sale/use in US.
How Does Photodisinfection Work?
Photodisinfection is a topical, non-antibiotic antimicrobial therapy that destroys a broad spectrum of pathogens including fungi, bacteria and virus without damaging human tissue. https://t.co/bikx0YH0FT #sinuwave#photodisinfection
The new rule in #antibiotic therapy is the shorter the duration the better: “Every randomized clinical trial that has ever compared short-course therapy with longer-course therapy… has found that shorter-course therapies are just as effective.” https://t.co/4yPte9gcOg #superbugs
It is estimated that 500,000 patients currently live with chronic sinusitis that is unresponsive to both surgical intervention and medical therapy. https://t.co/rnUkNUsMwG #Sinusitis
Bacteria have tricked us into thinking that if we feel okay then we’re not contagious. In truth, we’re contagious one day before we start feeling sick and up to seven days after we’re feeling better. https://t.co/E9e9DbuSpG
Approximately 1 in 7 sinusitis patients will progress to the chronic form of the disease, termed chronic rhinosinusitis or CRS, representing about 13 million patients. https://t.co/kQQFCGp5s3
Benefits of the @Sinuwave treatment include: reduction of pain, the absence of drug interactions, the absence of any patient compliance issues, and
the reduction of multiple pathogens, including viruses, fungi and antibiotic resistant bacteria. https://t.co/N7ELFvhxsG

Sinusitis affects an estimated 14% of the population in the US (approximately 37 million people), is a leading cause of patient referrals to otolaryngologists, and represents an estimated $8.6 billion in annual treatment costs. https://t.co/0ebX4Hr0U1 #Sinusitis
Time to read up on Photodisinfection and its many uses, including #Sinusitis. The Photodisinfection process is both pain-free and stress-free due to lack of side-effects or damage to human tissue... https://t.co/UykEXHkzOA
So why on earth would we be doubling up on treatment length when it doesn’t help and it exposes us to serious health risks and greater costs? NPR: https://t.co/8SICvBjQSf #antibiotics#treatment#cancer#superbugs
Allergies, infections, or physical defects trigger an initial inflammatory response, leading to blockage of the nasal passageway & the accumulation of mucus and pathogens in the sinuses. In this state, the sinuses are left susceptible to chronic infection. https://t.co/HmM38IbTIx
