Additional Information for Esophageal Balloon Dilation Catheter
Esophageal balloon dilation catheters are medical devices used in the treatment of esophageal strictures or narrowing. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Esophageal strictures can occur due to various reasons, such as scar tissue formation, inflammation, or tumors. These strictures can cause difficulty in swallowing and can lead to complications if left untreated. Esophageal balloon dilation catheters are designed to dilate or widen the narrowed esophagus, allowing for improved passage of food and liquids.
The catheter consists of a flexible tube with an inflatable balloon at the tip. The balloon is deflated during insertion and then inflated once it reaches the narrowed area of the esophagus. The inflation of the balloon applies gentle pressure to the stricture, gradually stretching and widening the esophagus. This process helps to restore normal swallowing function.
Esophageal balloon dilation catheters come in various sizes to accommodate different patient needs. They are typically used in conjunction with endoscopy procedures, where a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the esophagus to guide the placement of the catheter.
It is important to note that the use of esophageal balloon dilation catheters should be performed by trained medical professionals, such as gastroenterologists or interventional radiologists, to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Overall, esophageal balloon dilation catheters are essential medical devices used in the management of esophageal strictures, providing relief and improved swallowing function for patients.
