Description

The ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator Advantage Pack includes a pack of five of the Esophageal Balloon Dilators. The Eliminator PET Balloon Dilator offers a simple solution capable of dilating the tightest of strictures. Constructed using a proprietary PET material, this non-compliant balloon material will maintain its shape while dilating a stricture, assuring that pressures within the balloon are applied to the stricture and not lost to the balloon expanding around the stricture.

Warranty: 2 Year Shelf Life from date of Manufacture.

The Balloon Dilator combines the radial strength you need to dilate even the tightest structures with an innovative, cost-effective alternative to conventional balloon dilation. The multi-stage inflation technique is a simple method for obtaining a complete and reliable dilation with a single Eliminator PET Balloon Dilator, eliminating the need for more than one balloon.

Frequently asked questions

Is this dilator effective for tight esophageal strictures?

Yes, the ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator is specifically engineered to provide simple and reliable dilation for even the tightest esophageal strictures.

Its effectiveness is ensured by several key innovative features:

  • Proprietary PET Material: Constructed from patented Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), the balloon is non-compliant. This means it maintains its precise, intended shape and directs applied pressure accurately toward the stricture rather than expanding unnecessarily.
  • Multi-Stage Inflation: The multi-stage technique allows for complete and reliable dilation using only one device, increasing procedural efficiency.
  • True to Size Performance: The dilator delivers accurate sizing at maximum pressure, ensuring consistent results and reliable, true-to-size performance without “waisting.”
  • Cost-Effective: It provides a high-performance alternative while remaining cost-effective compared to conventional balloon dilators.
Are these ConMed balloon dilators disposable?

Yes, the ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilators are disposable and strictly intended for single-use applications.

This design ensures hygienic standards and reliable performance for every therapeutic dilation procedure.

Key details:

  • The dilators are constructed from proprietary PET material.
  • The Advantage Pack includes five disposable balloon dilators.
What are the balloon and catheter lengths?

The ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator is designed with specific dimensions for effective endoscopic and radiological procedures:

  • Balloon Length: The non-compliant balloon, made from proprietary PET material, measures 8 cm.
  • Catheter Length: The catheter provides a long working length of 180 cm to ensure excellent reach and precise maneuverability during the multi-stage dilation process.
Does this quality dilator provide cost savings?

Yes, the ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator Advantage Pack is designed to deliver precise, reliable performance while offering significant value and cost savings compared to conventional dilation methods.

Key factors contributing to its cost-effectiveness include:

  • Single-Device Dilation: The device uses an innovative multi-stage inflation technique, which allows for complete and reliable dilation of strictures with just one balloon. This eliminates the need for serial balloon usage, simplifying the procedure and reducing inventory costs.
  • Cost-Effective Performance: It is engineered as a high-performance, cost-effective alternative to conventional or serially expanding balloon dilators, providing reliable radial strength.
  • Proprietary Material: Constructed from patented, non-compliant PET material, the balloon ensures applied pressure is directed toward the stricture for accurate sizing and consistent results.
Is the balloon sizing accurate at maximum pressure?

Yes, the ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator is engineered for true to size performance and reliable results, ensuring consistent sizing even at maximum pressure.

This high level of accuracy is achieved through the device’s specialized construction:

  • Proprietary PET Material: The balloon is made from patented, non-compliant PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) material.
  • Precise Pressure Application: This material prevents the balloon from expanding excessively around the stricture, guaranteeing that the applied pressure is accurately directed to the target tissue.
  • Consistent Shape: The design ensures no waisting is observed and the balloon maintains its precise, intended shape when inflated to maximum pressure.
Does the proprietary PET material ensure superior strength?

Yes, these dilators utilize a proprietary, patented PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) material. This specialized, non-compliant construction is designed specifically to ensure superior radial strength and precise dilation.

The PET material offers significant performance advantages:

  • Accurate Sizing: The non-compliant nature ensures the balloon maintains a precise shape and delivers true-to-size accuracy at maximum pressure, eliminating ‘waisting’ around the stricture.
  • Focused Pressure: Applied pressure is directed solely toward the stricture, enhancing dilation effectiveness without the pressure being lost to balloon expansion.
  • Efficiency: The strength and reliability of the material facilitate complete and reliable dilation using an innovative multi-stage inflation technique with a single device.
What is the shelf life of the dilator pack?

The shelf life for the ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator Advantage Pack is 2 years from the date of manufacture. This guarantee ensures the integrity and reliability of the proprietary PET material and disposable components, confirming the product’s quality and performance when used within this period.

What accurate dilation sizes are available?

The ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilators are constructed from proprietary, non-compliant PET material designed to ensure accurate, true-to-size performance. This material maintains its precise shape even at maximum pressure, focusing radial strength directly onto the stricture and preventing ‘waisting.’Within the Advantage Pack (which includes 5 disposable dilators), the following diameters are available as Inflated Outer Diameter options: * 15 mm (45 French) * 18 mm (54 French) * 20 mm (60 French)

Does the proprietary PET material ensure precise dilation?

Yes, the dilator is constructed using proprietary, patented PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) material specifically engineered to ensure maximum dilation precision.

This material is inherently non-compliant, which means the balloon maintains its precise, specified shape and size throughout the multi-stage inflation process. This targeted pressure application provides several key benefits:

  • Accurate Pressure Application: Pressure is directed precisely onto the stricture, rather than being lost to balloon expansion around it.
  • True-to-Size Performance: The device provides accurate sizing, confirmed even at maximum inflation pressure, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
  • Eliminates Waisting: The structure prevents unnecessary indentation (‘waisting’) during inflation, delivering uniform radial strength.
  • Cost-Effective Dilation: Its reliable performance allows for complete dilation with a single device, often eliminating the need for multiple conventional balloons.
How many dilators are in the Advantage Pack?

The ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator Advantage Pack includes five (5) disposable esophageal balloon dilators.

This packaging offers convenience and is designed to be a cost-effective solution for multiple procedures. All five units in the pack will be the same selected diameter (15 mm, 18 mm, or 20 mm).

A major benefit is that the dilator utilizes a proprietary PET material and a multi-stage inflation technique, which is engineered to achieve complete and reliable dilation using only one balloon, unlike competitive serial systems.
