Abstract
An indwelling nasal suction tampon is described that effectively controls both intraoperative and postoperative nasal hemorrhage. The significant benefits of this device are better intraoperative control for the surgeon and less complicated postoperative recovery. I do not have any financial involvement in this device, but I would like other nasal surgeons to benefit from its particular advantages. The device is available under the trade name Instant and may be obtained from Innovations by Westmed, 3351 E. Hemisphere Loop, Tucson, Ariz. 85706; (602) 294-7987.
