Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon  Features & Benefits

---

Give your practice a lift.

Ease of Use

Vertical sinus elevation results and bone graft volume required are in direct proportion to the amount of fluid used to inflate the Zimmer® Sinus Lift Balloon.

Versatile

Available in three, single-use configurations:

• Angled (lateral window/Caldwell-Luc)
• Straight (crestal/Summers)
• Micro-mini (crestal/Summers)

Minimally Invasive

• Assists clinicians in performing atraumatic sinus membrane elevations.
• Designed to lift the Schneiderian membrane gently and uniformly, which may reduce the incidence of perforation.
• Smaller diameter osteotomy in both crestal and lateral window due to shaft size; straight/angled (3.5mm), micro-mini (1.9mm) diameters.

Clinical advantages of the Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon

• Sinus lift procedures commonly result in Schneiderian membrane perforations up to 56 percent of the time¹.
• Serves as a delivery tool for collagen membranes, if tear occurs, and may assure the appropriate positioning for bone graft containment.
• Can be used in conjunction with both traditional and minimally invasive methods for osteotomy preparation, including osteotomes, piezo surgery, and other sinus lift preparation kits.
• Volume of graft material required is in direct proportion to the amount of fluid used to inflate the balloon (i.e., 1cc of fluid corresponds with 1cc of graft material).
• Traditional procedures result in 2-3mm of sinus height lift, but with 1cc of saline the Sinus Lift Balloon’s expected sinus elevation is 6mm (+/- 0.5mm).

The Zimmer Sinus Lift Balloon procedure provides even-pressured elevation of the Schneiderian membrane. Below is the illustrated technique for lifting the sinus membrane.
