A non-powered flexible tube with an inflatable balloon(s) at the distal end intended to be introduced short-term under image guidance to temporarily block a blood vessel. It may be used for arteriography, selective angiography, preoperative occlusion, peripheral and intracranial vasculature occlusion, emergency control of haemorrhage, to treat aneurysms, chemotherapeutic drug infusion, and renal opacification procedures. It may have a dual- or multi-lumen design for balloon inflation, introduction over a guidewire, infusion of contrast medium, or delivery of a smaller catheter or embolic agents; some types have graduated markings to assist insertion. This is a single-use device.
