Boston Scientific CRE Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter M00558420
The Boston Scientific CRE™ Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter (Model M00558420) is a sterile, single-use device used for endoscopic dilation of strictures in the esophagus, pylorus, or colon. It features an 8 cm non-compliant Pebax balloon that sequentially inflates to 12 mm, 13.5 mm, and 15 mm. The catheter integrates a guidewire and platinum-iridium radiopaque markers for precise fluoroscopic placement.
This wire guided catheter maintains the endoscope’s position during navigation, supporting efficient placement in tortuous or narrow anatomy. The balloon inflates in defined stages—12 mm at 3 ATM, 13.5 mm at ~4.5 ATM, and 15 mm at 8 ATM—allowing graduated dilation using a single device. Rounded balloon shoulders and embedded radiopaque markers aid clear visualization and precise deployment under fluoroscopy. Its low-profile 7.5 Fr shaft, 180 cm working length, and ≥ 2.8 mm scope channel compatibility make it versatile for various GI procedures.
