Boston Scientific CRE Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter M00558480
The Boston Scientific CRE™ Wire guided Balloon Dilatation Catheter (Model M00558480) is a sterile, single-use device for endoscopic dilation of esophageal, pyloric, or colonic strictures. It features an 8 cm Pebax balloon that inflates stepwise to 12 mm, 13.5 mm, and 15 mm. The catheter includes a guidewire and platinum-iridium radiopaque markers for accurate fluoroscopic placement.
This wire guided design preserves endoscope positioning for easier navigation through tight or tortuous GI anatomy, improving procedural control. The balloon inflates in distinct stages—12 mm at 3 ATM, 13.5 mm around 4.5 ATM, and 15 mm at 8 ATM—so clinicians can dilate effectively with a single device. Rounded balloon shoulders enhance visualization, and the embedded radiopaque markers support precise deployment under fluoroscopy. With a low-profile 7.5 Fr shaft, 240 cm working length, and requirement of ≥ 2.8 mm scope channels, it is versatile across GI applications.
