Apparatus and method for treatment of ethmoid sinusitis

A method of treating a sinus cavity, the method comprising

• (a) piercing at least one wall of the sinus cavity to form an opening, wherein the act of piercing at least one wall of the sinus cavity comprises:
• (i) piercing the sinus cavity in a first wall location, and
• (ii) piercing the sinus cavity in a second wall location;
• (b) inserting a fluid transfer member through the opening in the at least one wall of the sinus cavity, wherein the fluid transfer member comprises a first port, a second port, and a wick defining a fluid passageway and wherein the fluid transfer member is configured to provide a direct fluid communication path between the interior of the sinus cavity and a region external to the sinus cavity, wherein a portion of fluid transfer member extends into the interior of the sinus cavity, wherein the portion of the at least one fluid transfer member extending into the interior of the sinus cavity is longer than a portion disposed in the opening of the sinus cavity, wherein the wick is configured to transfer fluid medication through a capillary action and to administer the fluid medication directly from the wick to mucosa in the sinus cavity, wherein the act of inserting the fluid transfer member comprises:
• (i) inserting the first port into the first wall location, and
• (ii) inserting the second port into the second wall location so that the first port and the second port are in direct fluid communication with one another via the wick;
• and
• (c) administering the fluid medication into a nostril in such a way that the fluid medication travels along the fluid transfer member by way of a capillary action, and is administered directly from the wick to mucosa in the sinus cavity by the wick extending into the interior of the sinus cavity.
