Graduated Balloon Design for Gentle DilationThis catheter employs a tri-profile, sequential dilatation technology, allowing controlled and progressive widening of esophageal strictures. The three-stage balloon smoothly expands from 10 mm to 12 mm, helping to minimize patient discomfort and reduce procedural risks. Radiopaque and colored markers guide accurate placement for effective treatment.
Safe, Reliable, and Easy to UseMade from medical-grade materials and free from latex, the catheters are sterile and disposable, reducing infection risks. The Luer lock connector makes saline or contrast medium inflation straightforward. With no power source required, the device suits both hospital and clinic environments, ensuring reliable dilation during endoscopic procedures.
Precision and Compatibility for Modern EndoscopyCompatible with standard 2.8 mm endoscope channels, the catheter provides real-time dilation under direct visualization. Its smooth transition tip supports easy insertion, while its lightweight and portable build mean it's convenient for varied clinical settings. The transparent body with clear markers aids in both procedural safety and confidence.
FAQ's of Endoscopic Esophageal Balloon Dilator Catheter - 10-11-12 mm:
Q: How is the Endoscopic Esophageal Balloon Dilator Catheter used during a procedure?
A: The catheter is inserted through a standard endoscope (with a 2.8 mm channel), and the balloon is positioned across the stricture under endoscopic visualization. The balloon is then sequentially inflated using saline or a contrast agent via the Luer lock until the desired dilation, from 10 mm to 12 mm, is achieved.
Q: What types of esophageal conditions can this catheter help treat?
A: This catheter is specifically designed for the dilation of benign esophageal stenoses, such as rings and strictures. It facilitates gentle expansion of narrowed passages to restore normal swallowing function and improve esophageal patency.
Q: When should the balloon be inflated to its maximum diameter?
A: Inflation should proceed in stages, with the balloon gradually expanded from 10 mm up to 12 mm as tolerated by the patient and guided by endoscopic visualization. Maximum pressure (up to 6 atm, as per IFU) and full inflation should only be achieved when clinically indicated and patient safety is ensured.
Q: Where should the catheter be stored before use?
A: The device should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its integrity. Proper storage ensures the catheter's sterility and reliable function up to its 3-5 year shelf life.
Q: What are the benefits of the tri-profile, sequential dilatation feature?
A: The sequential, three-stage dilatation allows for a gentle, controlled expansion of esophageal strictures, which reduces tissue trauma and enhances procedural safety. Graduated dilation also enables tailored treatment to patient needs.
Q: How accurate is the balloon size during operation?
A: The balloon's diameter tolerance is +/- 0.5 mm, ensuring high accuracy during expansion. This precision allows clinicians to confidently dilate strictures to the desired degree and minimize potential complications.
Q: Is this catheter reusable or single-use?
A: The Endoscopic Esophageal Balloon Dilator Catheter is a sterile, single-use device. It should be disposed of after one procedure to prevent cross-contamination and maintain patient safety.
