Boston Scientific CRE Fixed Wire Balloon Dilatation Catheters 6/8.0 M00558360
The Boston Scientific CRE™ Fixed Wire Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a sterile, single-use device for esophageal dilation. Featuring an 8 cm non-compliant Pebax balloon that inflates from 12 to 15 mm (36–45 Fr) over a 6 Fr shaft with fixed central guidewire. It offers controlled radial force and platinum-iridium radiopaque markers for precise fluoroscopic positioning.
This fixed-wire design integrates guidewire and catheter to simplify device handling and reduce exchanges during dilation. The balloon provides three distinct diameters at different pressures (12, 13.5, and 15 mm), enabling stepwise dilation with a single catheter. Its low-profile rounded shoulders support visualization during passage, improving accuracy . Platinum-iridium markers at both ends of the balloon enhance real-time fluoroscopic control for accurate lesion targeting .
