Our innovative balloon design allows continuous ventilation during inflation.
Features are:
Ventilate while inflated – non-occlusive design
High Pressure
Easy re-folding
Extra length allows insertion through rigid bronchoscope
Markers for visual and radiographic positioning
Semi-compliant (sizing ability)
Balloon Compliance Chart
