Epistaxis (or nosebleeds) can be a relatively common occurrence in some people. The inner lining of the nose contains many blood vessels that, when injured or affected by other environmental factors, can sometimes result in bleeding. While most nosebleeds can be controlled at home, some may require medical intervention.

Treatment for nosebleeds

Rapid Rhino^® epistaxis products utilize one or more inflatable balloons to provide gentle, direct pressure to bleeding vessels (similar to pinching your nose) in order to control the nosebleed. The balloons are coated with a lubricating fabric designed to provide a slippery surface for easy insertion and removal of the device without adhering to clots or scabs that form when the bleeding stops. The device may be left in place for up to 72 hours in order to control the nosebleed.

Contact a physician to find out if a Rapid Rhino epistaxis device is right for you.
