Boston Scientific CRE™ Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter M00558430
The Boston Scientific CRE™ Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter (M00558430) is a sterile, single-use device for endoscopic dilation of strictures in the esophagus, pylorus, or colon. It includes an 8 cm Pebax balloon that inflates sequentially to 15 mm, 16.5 mm, and 18 mm. The catheter integrates a central guidewire and platinum‑iridium radiopaque markers for precise fluoroscopic placement.
This wire guided catheter maintains endoscope position during navigation, enabling controlled dilation in challenging anatomy. The balloon expands in three stages—15 mm at 3 ATM, 16.5 mm at ~4.5 ATM, and 18 mm at 7 ATM—so clinicians can complete graduated dilation with a single device . Rounded shoulders and embedded markers enhance visualization under fluoroscopy. With its low-profile 7.5 Fr shaft, 180 cm working length, and compatibility with ≥ 2.8 mm channels, it’s suitable for a range of GI procedures.
