  • DEVICE DESCRIPTION

    The Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour sinus implant is a bioabsorbable implant designed to maintain patency of the sinus cavity (Propel/Propel mini) or sinus ostium (Propel Contour). The Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour implant is manufactured from a synthetic bioabsorbable copolymer, poly (L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG). The implant contains mometasone furoate (active ingredient), a synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity. Mometasone furoate is a white to off-white powder. The chemical name is 9α,21-dichloro-11β,17α-dihydroxy-16α-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione 17-(2-furoate), with the empirical formula C27H30Cl2O6, and a molecular weight of 521.43 g/mol. Mometasone furoate is a hydrophobic drug that is practically insoluble in water. Mometasone furoate is stable under aqueous, acidic and oxidative conditions. Mometasone furoate can degrade under extreme basic, thermal and photolytic conditions. The chemical structure is shown. The drug is embedded in a bioabsorbable polymer matrix containing poly-(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) and polyethylene glycol (inactive ingredients) which provides for gradual release of the drug.

    The inactive ingredients on the sinus implant are poly-(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) and polyethylene glycol. Poly-(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) is an amorphous biodegradable polymer. The chemical structure is shown below.

    The implant is designed to accommodate the size and variability of the post-surgical ethmoid sinus anatomy (for Propel), ethmoid or frontal sinus anatomy (for Propel mini), and frontal or maxillary sinus ostium anatomy for Propel Contour. The Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour implant is designed to be inserted by a physician under endoscopic visualization and once inserted, the implant is designed to be self-retaining against the mucosa of the surgically enlarged sinus (Propel/Propel mini) or sinus ostium (Propel Contour). A delivery system is provided to access the ethmoid sinus (for Propel), ethmoid or frontal sinus (for Propel mini), and frontal or maxillary sinus ostium (for the Propel Contour) and insert the implant.

  • INDICATIONS FOR USE

    The Propel sinus implant is intended for use in patients ≥ 18 years of age following ethmoid sinus surgery to maintain patency, thereby reducing the need for post-operative intervention such as surgical adhesion lysis and/or use of oral steroids. The Propel implant separates mucosal tissues, provides stabilization of the middle turbinate, prevents obstruction by adhesions, and reduces edema.

    The Propel mini sinus implant is intended for use in patients ≥ 18 years of age following ethmoid/frontal sinus surgery to maintain patency of the ethmoid sinus or frontal sinus opening. The Propel mini sinus implant separates/dilates surrounding mucosal tissues, provides stabilization of the middle turbinate, prevents obstruction by adhesions, and reduces inflammation. The implant reduces the need for post-operative intervention such as surgical adhesion lysis and/or use of oral steroids.

    The Propel Contour sinus implant is intended for use in patients ≥ 18 years of age to maintain patency of the frontal and maxillary sinus ostia following sinus surgery and locally deliver steroids to the sinus mucosa. The PROPEL Contour sinus implant separates/dilates mucosal tissues, prevents obstruction by adhesions/scarring, and reduces edema. The implant reduces the need for post-operative intervention such as surgical adhesion lysis and/or use of oral steroids.

  • CONTRAINDICATIONS

    The use of the Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour sinus implant is contraindicated in the following patients:

    •Patients with suspected or confirmed hypersensitivity and / or intolerance to mometasone furoate.
    •Patients with a known hypersensitivity to lactide, glycolide or caprolactone copolymers.

  • WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    WARNINGS

    The Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour sinus implant is designed for single patient use only. Do not reprocess or reuse.
    Do not use if the package is open or damaged.

    PRECAUTIONS

    Special care should be taken to avoid bending, twisting or damaging the implant.
    The implant is not designed to be modified by the physician.
    The implant is not intended to be compressed and loaded into the delivery system more than two times.
    The implant must be placed under endoscopic visualization.
    The implant exhibits no antimicrobial properties.
    Foreign body reaction may occur as is possible with most surgical adjuncts.
    In rare instances, the physiochemical condition associated with sinus surgery, both with and without sinus implants or packing, may present a risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
    Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of the implant in pediatric patients have not been established.
    Pregnancy and Nursing Females: The safety and effectiveness of the implant in pregnant or nursing females have not been established.

    DRUG INFORMATION

    MECHANISM OF ACTION: Corticosteroids have been shown to have a wide range of effects on multiple cell types (e.g., mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes) and mediators (e.g., histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and cytokines) involved in inflammation. The precise mechanism behind the anti-inflammatory properties of the eluted mometasone furoate is not known.


    PHARMACOKINETICS: The Propel sinus implant underwent pharmacokinetics testing. Following bilateral drug-eluting Propel implant placement after sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis and subsequent weekly morning blood sampling for 4 weeks in 5 adult patients, plasma mometasone furoate concentrations were not quantifiable at any time point. Mean cortisol concentrations were within normal limits.

    DRUG INTERACTIONS

    No drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with the Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour implant.

    CARCINOGENICITY, GENOTOXICITY AND REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY

    No long term studies in animals have been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of the Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour implant.

    PREGNANCY

    There have been no controlled studies in pregnant women using the Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour implant. The Propel®/Propel® mini/Propel® Contour sinus implant should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits justify the potential risk.

    LACTATION

    It is not known if mometasone furoate is excreted in human milk. Because other corticosteroids are excreted in human milk, the Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour sinus implant should be used only if the potential benefits justify the potential risk.

  • DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    Each Propel/Propel mini/Propel Contour sinus implant contains 370µg of mometasone furoate which is gradually released over time.

  • I. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE DEVICE ON HEALTH
