Anyone who uses computers knows that keeping up with technology is a challenge, but it is crucial for anyone who strives to be the best in their field. To this end, the Becker brothers and their staff are always scouring the literature for technological advances that provide a significant improvement in the care of the nose and sinuses. We are constantly working to bring the most advanced, proven treatments to our patients.

Advanced Radiofrequency technology allows the highly controlled delivery of radio frequency to shrink the tissue that can be responsible for nasal blockage and snoring. At the Becker Nose & Sinus Center we prefer this technology because it is minimally invasive with a very quick recovery time.

Balloon sinuplasty is an "endoscopic, catheter-based system" for patients suffering from sinusitis. The FDA-cleared technology uses a small, flexible, sinus balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways, restoring normal sinus drainage. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it gently restructures and widens the walls of the passageway while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining. Dr. Samuel Becker and Dr. Daniel Becker are fully trained in the use of this new technology. Dr. Samuel Becker has recently published a paper on novel uses of balloon sinuplasty at advanced care centers.

The Becker Nose and Sinus Center is proud to be one of the first sites in the Northeast to use the newest minimally invasive balloon device for treatment of sinusitis. Dr. Samuel Becker is the first physician trained in the use of this new tool in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

Fiberoptic endoscopic techniques, using powered instrumentation developed specifically for the nose and sinuses, have become state-of-the-art because of their accuracy and effectiveness. Dr. Daniel Becker has worked with instrument companies to design powered instruments. He holds a patent on a minimally invasive powered instrument.

Dr. Daniel Becker and Dr. Samuel Becker use these techniques and these instruments on virtually every sinus procedure we perform.

More complex problems may require advanced techniques and instrumentation. Both Doctors Daniel and Samuel Becker are fully experienced in the latest techniques, instrumentation, and image guidance systems. In fact, they have played a primary role in the development of some of these procedures (such as the Endoscopic Modified Lothrop Procedure). Because of their expertise and innovation in sinus management, they were recently invited to work with Medtronic, ENT - one of the world's largest ENT instrumentation companies - to help develop new technologies for Powered Instrumentation and Image Guidance systems.
