FDA Clearance for Neuromark Rhinitis Neurolysis Therapy
Author(s):
The FDA announced clearance of Neuromark™ Rhinitis Neurolysis Therapy™ (RNT), which gives clinicians access to an in-office treatment designed to create lesions to interrupt the posterior nasal nerves for patients with chronic rhinitis, according to a recent press release.
Neuromark™ RNT is designed with a flexible electrode array geometry to access and disrupt hard-to-reach posterior nasal nerves in a single placement.
“The FDA clearance of Neuromark™ RNT means otolaryngologists can now offer precise care to patients with chronic rhinitis, while avoiding the trial and error that often goes into treating this condition,” said Marc Dubin MD, scientific advisor for Neurent Medical, in a press release. “The truth is, medications, sprays and other intranasal procedures are often either ineffective or only offer short-term relief for patients suffering with chronic rhinitis. I look forward to being able to offer them an exciting new treatment option conveniently administered in a single in-office visit.”
Additionally, this system uses advanced algorithmic controls that allow the physician to simultaneously interrupt multiple nerve branches with a high degree of anatomical precision, safety, and patient comfort, according to the press release.
“It is well documented that chronic rhinitis can significantly decrease the quality of life for patients by adversely impacting their sleep quality, daily activity, mental health and overall wellbeing,” said Neurent Medical CEO Brian Shields in a press release. “Neuromark™ addresses the limitations of other treatments and uses advanced technology to do so safely, gently and with ease. The market need is immense and underserved, and we are excited to bring our initial product offering to the market, providing symptom relief to as many patients as possible. We are equally as excited to continue our product pipeline development to address other sino-nasal inflammatory conditions and realize the full potential of the Neuromark™ platform.”
