• For local injection, inject 1.5 – 3.0 mL per turbinate. Inject enough to "balloon out" the tissue submucosally.
• Place electrode submucosally until 2 mm of the insulation is buried.

Patient Selection

• Patients with nasal congestion and rhinorrhea associated with inferior turbinate hypertrophy who note favorable improvement in obstruction after a nasal decongestant spray test. 
• Patients with nasal congestion due to a mildly deviated septum and nasal turbinate hypertrophy.
• The sleep apnea patient who notes difficulty wearing a nasal CPAP mask because of increased nasal resistance.
• Patients requiring a septoplasty, rhinoplasty, or functional endoscopic sinus surgery who also have turbinate hypertrophy.
• Patients requiring adjunctive treatment for rhinitis medicamentosa (RM).
