High-Quality, High-Performance Medical Balloons

Our complex medical balloons have earned their reputation as the best in the industry, with:

• Tightest tolerances
• Highest burst pressures
• Thinnest walls
• Unique balloon design options (multilumen, coated, bent balloon)

Applications of Complex Medical Balloons

• Dilatation: High-pressure medical balloons apply a force to dilate restrictions or unblock arteries. They are non-elastic and retain their size and shape under pressure. They can be used in other areas of the body for esophageal dilatation, ureteral dilatation, heart valve dilatation, and more.
• Stent Delivery: High-pressure balloons are commonly used to deploy and post-dilate stents to reduce the rate of arterial restenosis and acute reclosure following angioplasty. Low-compliant balloons ensure that the artery will not be over-expanded.
• Positioning:
  • Offset balloons can be used to position various devices or instruments to concentrate on one wall in a vessel or body cavity.
  • Symmetrical balloons precisely center an instrument in a body cavity.
  • A balloon with a narrowing in the body (dogbone shape) can be used to position a device laterally within a structure such as a valve.
• Occlusion: Low-pressure, elastomeric balloons are used to fill various shape body cavities.
• Endovascular Graft Delivery: grafts are deployed and attached to an artery wall by deploying a balloon within the artery
• Energy Delivery: High-pressure balloons can be used to transfer heat or cold because their ultra-thin walls provide a relatively high rate of heat transfer
• Light Therapy: PET balloons are optically clear and permit the transmission of light over a broad spectrum, making them well suited for Laser Balloon Angioplasty (LBA) and Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) with light-activated drugs.
• Drug Delivery: Two discrete balloons or a "dog bone" shaped balloon can be used to seal off an area to be treated without subjecting too large an area to the medication.

Widest Selection In The Industry

We can provide a medical balloon to meet the needs of any application:

• Simple to complex shapes and ends
• Compliant, semicompliant, and noncompliant types
• Diverse materials

Fully Integrated Supplier

Unlike most other suppliers, we manage every step of medical balloon production in-house, from extrusion to tooling design to manufacturing. This integration allows us to produce the highest-quality custom balloons, often in as little as 2 weeks. We also use the same processes and equipment for complex medical balloon prototypes as we do for production, which supports a quick transition into manufacturing.
