A nasal tampon, adapted for use during a nasal surgery comprises an expansible low pressure sealing cuff, an inflation conduit, a drainage conduit, and an absorptive member. The tampon is designed to control nasal hemorrhaging without exerting direct pressure on the bleeding area. The expansible cuff conforms to the inner walls of the choanae and forming a seal therebetween so as to occlude the passageway and thereby prevent the flow of blood and other fluids down the patient's throat. |
