NewFor ENT physicians · YouStay™ in development
YouStay™ combines integrated visualization and a steerable balloon catheter in one handheld platform—being developed for minimally invasive in-office Eustachian tube and sinus procedures.
Prototype
YouStay™ balloon assembly
In development
Balloon procedures in ENT can be highly variable between operators and difficult to standardize outside the operating room.
This makes office-based procedures harder than they should be — reducing efficiency, consistency, and confidence.
YouStay™ is one handheld system, built for real-world in-office ENT workflows, that lets you:
The goal is simple: help ENT physicians perform office procedures with greater precision, fewer steps, and more predictable outcomes.
One integrated platform designed to let physicians see, steer, and dilate the correct anatomical target.
A 1 mm flexible camera gives a real-time view at the treatment site — no separate scope tower
A steerable, anatomically shaped balloon catheter is positioned one-handed
Visualization and steering together help confirm the correct target before dilating
Designed for minimally invasive in-office Eustachian tube and sinus procedures
Better visibility in challenging anatomy
More consistency between operators
Procedures designed for the office setting
One integrated platform in place of separate instruments
YouStay™ is in development and not FDA cleared. Software features are on the future roadmap and are not part of the current device.
The device
Camera, catheter and controls come together in a single handheld system — so the procedure stays in one hand and one field of view.
01Houses the micro-camera and controls, with deliberate one-handed steering.
02Steerable, anatomically shaped balloon with an atraumatic tip and low-profile entry — new for every case.
Finger-ring grip
Paired rings for a steady, single-handed hold.
Control wheels
Knurled wheels positioned under the thumb.
Catheter shaft
The slim shaft leading to the single-use balloon.
Atraumatic tip
Deflectable shaft
Low-profile entry

Clinical development
Late-stage integrated prototype: balloon, steerable catheter, reusable handle and micro-camera designed and built; entering final integration and bench testing.
Highly controlled first-in-human Eustachian tube dilation targeted for Q1 2027, with IRB-led oversight.
Defined FDA 510(k) pathway with an identified predicate device.
Targets are plans and may change. YouStay™ is not FDA cleared or available for sale.
