Relieva Tract Septal Balloon in Boynton Beach, FL
The Relieva Tract™ Nasal Balloon Dilation System is a minimally invasive instrument that creates space in the nasal cavity by temporarily displacing the inferior turbinate and lower nasal septum — facilitating access for endonasal and transnasal procedures and addressing nasal obstruction without traditional surgical cutting.

Brodner offers the Relieva Tract Septal Balloon as part of his comprehensive approach to nasal airway management and in-office ENT procedures for patients throughout Boynton Beach, FL and South Florida.

What Is the Relieva Tract Septal Balloon?
The Relieva Tract™ Nasal Balloon Dilation System is an FDA-regulated medical instrument designed to provide increased intranasal space. It is used to facilitate access for endonasal and transnasal procedures — such as Balloon Sinus Dilation or diagnostic endoscopy — and to temporarily address nasal obstruction by gently displacing the inferior turbinate and lower nasal septum without cutting or removing tissue.
The device works by placing a small, precisely controlled balloon within the nasal passage and inflating it to displace obstructing structures and create the space needed for comfortable, effective in-office nasal procedures. The approach is designed to minimize patient discomfort while maximizing procedural access — consistent with Dr. Brodner’s broader philosophy of delivering the most effective ENT care with the least possible patient burden.
Who Is the Relieva Tract Septal Balloon For?
The Relieva Tract™ Nasal Balloon Dilation System is intended for use in patients 17 years of age or older. It is appropriate for patients in whom nasal anatomy — including septal deviation or turbinate hypertrophy — creates a challenge for accessing the nasal cavity for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Dr. Brodner determines the appropriateness of the Relieva Tract during your in-office evaluation based on your specific nasal anatomy and the procedures being planned.
As with all balloon dilation instruments used for nasal procedures, the Relieva Tract requires use by or under the supervision of physicians thoroughly trained in balloon dilation. Dr. Brodner’s extensive experience with balloon-based nasal and sinus procedures — including his role as a National Key Opinion Leader in Balloon Sinus Dilation — provides patients with the highest level of expertise and safety for procedures utilizing this technology.
The Relieva Tract as Part of Comprehensive Nasal Care
At The Center for Sinus, Allergy, & Sleep Wellness, the Relieva Tract Septal Balloon is one of many advanced tools in Dr. Brodner’s comprehensive nasal care toolkit. It may be used in conjunction with other in-office procedures to optimize nasal access and patient comfort during treatment. Patients undergoing Balloon Sinus Dilation, endoscopic sinus evaluation, or other nasal procedures benefit from Dr. Brodner’s expertise with the full range of in-office nasal instruments and techniques.
If you are experiencing nasal obstruction, chronic sinusitis, or difficulty breathing through your nose, Dr. Brodner offers a full evaluation — including nasal endoscopy and in-office CT imaging with the Xoran Mini-Cat scanner — to identify the cause and recommend the most appropriate, targeted treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Relieva Tract Septal Balloon
What is the Relieva Tract Septal Balloon used for?
The Relieva Tract™ Nasal Balloon Dilation System is used to create increased intranasal space by displacing the inferior turbinate and lower nasal septum. It facilitates access for endonasal and transnasal procedures and can temporarily address nasal obstruction — all without cutting or removing nasal tissue.
Is the Relieva Tract procedure painful?
The Relieva Tract is used in conjunction with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during nasal procedures. Most patients report minimal discomfort. Dr. Brodner takes every precaution to maximize comfort during all in-office procedures at The Center for Sinus, Allergy, & Sleep Wellness. Call (561) 735-8750 to discuss what to expect during your specific planned procedure.
Who can receive the Relieva Tract Septal Balloon treatment?
The Relieva Tract is intended for patients 17 years of age or older. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Use requires thorough training in balloon dilation — a requirement Dr. Brodner meets through his extensive clinical experience and national recognition as a leader in in-office balloon-based ENT procedures.
How does the Relieva Tract differ from Balloon Sinus Dilation?
Balloon Sinus Dilation is a procedure specifically designed to open blocked sinus ostia and restore sinus drainage for patients with chronic sinusitis. The Relieva Tract Septal Balloon, by contrast, is designed to create intranasal space — displacing the turbinate and septum to facilitate access to the nasal cavity for procedures or to address nasal obstruction. The two devices serve complementary but distinct purposes and may be used together as part of a comprehensive in-office sinus and nasal care plan.
Is the Relieva Tract Septal Balloon performed in the office?
Yes. At The Center for Sinus, Allergy, & Sleep Wellness, nasal procedures utilizing the Relieva Tract are performed entirely in our Boynton Beach office — no hospital or surgery center visit required. This is consistent with Dr. Brodner’s practice philosophy of delivering the highest level of ENT care in the most convenient, comfortable, and accessible setting possible.
