Balloon dilatation catheter product classification introduction

Balloon dilatation catheters can be divided into several different categories based on their application scenarios and characteristics:

1. Pre-dilation balloon: It is mainly used to initially dilate narrow blood vessels before stent placement, thereby facilitating the smooth placement of the stent.

2. Stent balloon: used in conjunction with vascular stents to ensure that the stent is correctly positioned and fully extended inside the blood vessel.

3. Post-dilatation balloon: used after stent implantation, it aims to further promote the good fit between the stent and the blood vessel wall and improve the treatment effect.

4. Peripheral vascular balloon: specially designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vascular system, such as the iliac artery and femoral artery.

5. High-pressure balloon: It has a higher filling pressure and can more effectively expand harder or stubborn stenotic lesions.

6. Compliant balloon: can better conform to the vascular morphology and reduce the possibility of vascular damage.

7. Non-compliant balloon: It has lower compliance and can exert greater pressure on the blood vessel wall. It is suitable for certain specific pathological conditions.

8. Drug-eluting balloon: The surface of the balloon is coated with drugs, which can deliver drugs to the blood vessel wall during the expansion process and is used to diagnose and treat certain specific vascular diseases.

These different types of balloon dilatation catheters can be selected according to specific clinical needs and lesion characteristics to achieve the best treatment effect.
