The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Propel mometasone furoate implant when used following Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) in patients with Chronic Sinusitis (CS). The Propel implant is designed to provide a mechanical spacing function within the sinus anatomy to separate mucosal tissues, provide stabilization of the middle turbinate, and thereby prevent tissue adhesions from forming. The implant is coated with a small amount of mometasone furoate (a corticosteroid) in order to help minimize post surgical inflammation within the supported tissues.
The study utilizes an intra-patient control design to assess the safety and efficacy of the drug-coated implant compared to the non-drug coated implant that is identical in appearance.
