The ENTaxis material gels and expands to conform to the anatomy of the nasal cavity, comfortably applying uniform pressure to the lesion. Through activation of platelet aggregation, ENTaxis accelerates the coagulation process, maintaining a moist environment while trapping bacteria and wicking secretions from the site.

Insertion of ENTaxis is pain-free and the packing is easily separated from underlying tissues, minimizing the possibility of rebleeding. ENTaxis is hypoallergenic hy·po·al·ler·gen·ic (hp-l and has natural antimicrobial qualities. Studies have shown that this product does not promote the growth of Staphylococcus aureus strains associated with toxic shock syndrome.

Available in two different lengths, one for the treatment of epistaxis and one for postsurgical nasal packing, ENTaxis is packaged sterile, ready for use.
