Boston Scientific CRE Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter M00558470
The Boston Scientific CRE™ Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a sterile, single-use device for dilating strictures in the esophagus, pylorus, or colon. It features an 8 cm non‑compliant Pebax balloon that inflates sequentially to 10 mm, 11 mm, and 12 mm. The catheter includes platinum‑iridium radiopaque markers and an integrated guidewire for precise fluoroscopic placement.
This wireguided catheter maintains scope access during navigation, aiding efficient positioning in tight or tortuous anatomy. The balloon provides graduated expansion (3 ATM → 10 mm; 5.5 ATM → 11 mm; 8 ATM → 12 mm), reducing the need for device swaps . Rounded shoulders and radiopaque markers enhance visibility and precise placement under fluoroscopy. With a 7.5 Fr shaft, 240 cm working length, and compatibility with ≥ 2.8 mm endoscope channels, it’s ideal for diverse GI dilation procedures.
