RhinAer is a temperature-controlled radiofrequency (RF) technology developed to disrupt nerve signals that trigger chronic rhinitis symptoms, such as a constant runny nose and postnasal drip.
It features a thin, wand-like stylus that can be inserted through the nostril to deliver therapeutic benefits. The solution secured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance in December 2019.
Aerin Medical CEO Matt Brokaw said: “The publication of results from RHINTRAC and a number of other significant clinical studies underscores Aerin’s dedication to providing high-level clinical evidence that helps otolaryngologists make treatment decisions for their patients.
“We are thankful for the physician investigators who have led research demonstrating the benefits of our products and confirming a role for non-invasive procedure options for patients.”
