Boston Scientific CRE Balloon Dilatation Catheters M00558460
The Boston Scientific CRE Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a sterile, single-use device used for endoscopic dilation of strictures in the esophagus, pylorus, or colon. It features a 5.5 cm Pebax balloon that inflates sequentially to 8 mm, 9 mm, and 10 mm. The catheter includes an integrated guidewire and platinum‑iridium radiopaque markers for clear fluoroscopic placement.
This wire guided catheter maintains endoscope position during dilation, improving control in tight or tortuous anatomy. The balloon inflates in three graduated stages—8 mm at 3 ATM, 9 mm at ~5.5 ATM, and 10 mm at 9 ATM—enabling progressive dilation with a single instrument. Rounded shoulder design and embedded radiopaque markers support visualization and accurate deployment under fluoroscopy. With a low-profile 7.5 Fr shaft, long 240 cm working length, and compatibility with ≥ 2.8 mm scope channels, it supports a wide range of GI procedures.
