Nasal haemostatic balloons are inflatable devices used to stop severe nosebleeds (epistaxis) by applying pressure to the bleeding site. They are inserted into the nasal cavity during medical procedures, such as ENT interventions, and can also help manage conditions like glue ear in children by maintaining nasal passage stability.
These devices are typically single-use and designed for temporary placement to control bleeding or support nasal structure. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, with compliance requirements varying depending on the specific device design and clinical application.
