ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator

Yes, the ConMed Eliminator PET Balloon Dilator is engineered for highly reliable and precise sizing throughout the dilation procedure.

Key features ensuring dependable performance include:

• True-to-Size Material: The patented PET material guarantees that the balloon remains accurate in size, even at maximum pressure, effectively preventing the structural inconsistency known as ‘waisting.’
• Strong Radial Strength: The dilator provides the necessary force to effectively treat even the tightest strictures.
• Single-Use Reliability: Using a multi-stage inflation technique, the device facilitates complete and reliable dilation, often eliminating the need for subsequent balloons, thereby serving as a cost-effective, single-use solution.

The functional balloon length is standardized at 8 cm, and the catheter length is 180 cm.

Yes, the Eliminator PET Balloon Dilator features a patented PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) material balloon, which is essential for ensuring reliable and accurate performance during esophageal dilation.

This high-quality material provides several critical advantages:

• True-to-Size Accuracy: The balloon maintains its specified dimensions consistently, ensuring it is true to size even when inflated to maximum pressure.
• Prevents Waisting: The material construction eliminates “waisting” (narrowing) and ensures the device has the necessary radial strength to effectively treat tight strictures.
• Uniform Pressure: Pressure is reliably dispersed across the full 8 cm balloon length, supporting a complete and consistent dilation.

Yes, the ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator features a consistent 8 cm balloon length across all available sizes. This uniform length helps ensure predictable and reliable dilation during procedures.

Yes, the catheter on the Eliminator PET Balloon Dilator is a fixed length of 180 cm. This standardized measurement is consistent across all available balloon size variants, ensuring reliable deep reach for esophageal dilation procedures.

The ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator offers several sizing options, all designed for precision dilation. The functional balloon length is consistently 8 cm across all variants.

The available Inflated Outer Diameter (OD) sizes are:

• 6 mm
• 8 mm
• 10 mm
• 12 mm
• 15 mm
• 18 mm
• 20 mm

Yes, the ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator is designed for single-use only. This disposable design helps to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and offers a cost-effective alternative to conventional dilation methods.

The ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator has a 2-year shelf life from its date of manufacture, ensuring its reliability and effectiveness when stored properly.

Yes, the Eliminator PET Balloon Dilator is designed to connect directly to the required operating equipment for procedural efficiency and reliable performance.

• Required Component: The dilator plugs directly into the compatible Balloon Inflation Device (Item #100851).
• Performance: This system enables the multi-stage inflation technique, which allows for complete and reliable dilation using only this single disposable unit. This makes it a cost-effective alternative to competitive multi-balloon dilation systems.

Yes, the multi-stage inflation technique is a core feature designed to streamline the procedure and deliver cost savings.

This method simplifies the esophageal dilation process by allowing clinicians to achieve complete and reliable dilation with a single unit.

Key benefits include:

• Efficiency: Enables full dilation without having to switch devices.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Eliminates the need for multiple, serially expanding balloon dilators often required in conventional methods.

Yes, the ConMed Esophageal Balloon Dilator is a cost-effective option. It offers a more economical solution compared to competitive serially expanding balloon dilators, providing a single-use design without compromising performance.
