SPECIFICATIONS4.6% of the adult population in the U.S. suffer from Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD).4 Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty (BET) is the first-line interventional causal treatment of ETD.
Our long-term results suggest that BET is a safe and effective treatment1 for chronic obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction, with a success rate of more than 70%. Treatment with the TubaVent® Balloon Dilatation System may help patients regain normal ear function sustainably, with excellent success rates and high patient satisfaction levels.5
