    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for treating an epistaxis condition are disclosed herein. An exemplary epistaxis apparatus typically comprises an elongated body, a first conduit, and a second conduit. The elongated body includes a proximal end, a longitudinal axis, and a distal end. In use, the proximal end of the epistaxis apparatus is introduced into a patient's nostril. The distal end can be operative coupled to a suction source or a light source. Each of the first and second conduits is generally tubular having a proximal opening and distal opening. An exemplary light conducting apparatus comprise a generally frustoconical section, a generally elongated cylindrical section, and an angled tip section having a light conducting tip. The light conducting apparatus is typically adapted to operatively couple with an otoscope. Exemplary methods utilizing various embodiments of both the epistaxis apparatus and the light conduction apparatus are provided.
