The Trachealator Non-occlusive Airway Dilation Balloon is comprised of a single lumen, over-the wire, catheter with a clustered balloon system near the distal tip. The balloon cluster, when inflated, features a inter balloon space to avoid airway occlusion during deployment. The inflated balloon cluster generates a strong outward force for dilation of airway strictures. A guidewire is provided to facilitate the advancement of the Trachealator Non-occlusive Airway Dilation Balloon to the desired location.
A sterile flexible tube designed with a balloon at or near the distal tip that may be introduced directly (usually under fluoroscopic guidance) or through a bronchoscope so that its distal tip reaches the bronchi, permitting the inflation of the balloon after introduction. The device is typically used to treat benign stenosis and strictures of the airway and/or to control pulmonary bleeding (i.e., hemoptysis). This is a single-use device.
