If you can inflate a balloon, you can
perform a sinus lift
Looking for the secret to perfect sinus lifts? Try the Sinus Lift Balloon. These unique balloons make
it easy to perform an atraumatic membrane elevation.
All you have to do is remember this simple formula while
inflating the balloon with the syringe: 1cc of saline equals
6mm of membrane elevation.
It couldn't be any easier! This innovative product gives
predictable results, decreases surgical time and minimizes
the possibility of membrane tears. A typical single-tooth
or multi-tooth procedure that generally takes 30 to 45
minutes will probably take 10 to 15 minutes with the Sinus Lift Balloon.
Graft material required is in direct proportion to the amount of fluid used to inflate
the balloon: 1cc of fluid will require 1cc of graft material.
Three different configurations are available. The straight model features a 3.1mm diameter
shaft and has a 4cc capacity. It is typically used for the osteotome, socket or closed
technique through an extraction site.
The micro-mini model has a 1.9mm shaft and has a 1.5cc capacity. It is typically used for
entry through the implant osteotomy site when placing a very small implant.
The angled model also has a 3.1mm shaft and 4cc capacity. It is designed for an antral
approach using the Caldwell-Luc window or open technique.
