Boston Scientific CRE Wire‑guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter M00558500
The Boston Scientific CRE™ Wire‑guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a sterile, single-use device for endoscopic dilation of strictures in the esophagus or colon. It features an 8 cm Pebax balloon that inflates sequentially to 18 mm, 19 mm, and 20 mm. The catheter includes a central guidewire and platinum-iridium radiopaque markers for precise fluoroscopic positioning.
This wire-guided catheter ensures endoscope stability during navigation through tight or tortuous GI anatomy, improving procedural efficiency. The balloon inflates in three staged diameters—18 mm at 3 ATM, 19 mm at ~4.5 ATM, and 20 mm at 6 ATM—allowing accurate dilation with a single catheter. Rounded balloon shoulders enhance visualization, and embedded markers support precise placement under fluoroscopy. With its low-profile 7.5 Fr shaft, 240 cm working length, and ≥ 2.8 mm channel compatibility, it is ideal for adult esophageal and colonic procedures.
