Esophageal Balloon Dilation Catheter Kit is a medical device used for the dilation of the esophagus. It is specifically designed to treat conditions such as esophageal strictures, which are narrowings or constrictions in the esophagus that can cause difficulty in swallowing.

The pressure and duration of the dilation are carefully controlled by the healthcare professional performing the procedure.
