Boston Scientific CRE Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter M00558410
The Boston Scientific CRE™ Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a sterile, single-use device for endoscopic dilation of strictures in the esophagus, pylorus, or biliary duct. It includes an 8 cm non-compliant Pebax balloon that inflates sequentially to 10 mm, 11 mm, and 12 mm. The catheter has platinum‑iridium radiopaque markers and a central guidewire for precise fluoroscopic placement.
Designed for enhanced navigation in tortuous anatomy, the wire guided design maintains endoscope position while dilating strictures ([turn0search0]). The balloon expands at distinct pressure thresholds—3 ATM for 10 mm, 5.5 ATM for 11 mm, and 8 ATM for 12 mm—enabling graduated dilation within one device ([turn0search0]). Rounded balloon shoulders and embedded markers support clear visualization and accurate deployment ([turn0search0], [turn0search3]). With an 8 cm balloon, 7.5 Fr catheter size, and 180 cm working length, it is compatible with standard ≥ 2.8 mm scope channels ([turn0search0], [turn0search3]).
