INOUE BALLOON™ A

Balloon Catheter for BAV (Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty)

Product Description

Use

The INOUE BALLOON™ A (IBC-A) is indicated for Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty (BAV) in patients with aortic stenosis. This device is percutaneously and transluminally inserted into the heart, where it transitions from an hourglass shape to a barrel shape upon inflation. This expansion facilitates the dilation of the stenotic aortic valve.

Features

Stable

-Prevent Slippage-

A marker on the balloon section facilitates positioning.
The balloon’s unique inflations steps prevent slippage at the valve opening and ensures reliable valve expansion.

Speedy

-Quick Inflation and Deflation-

Short inflation time can reduce the burden on the patient.

Smart

-Stepwise Inflation-

Adjustable inflation diameters within a single balloon allow stepwise valve expansion.
Repeated inflations can be performed without changing balloon catheters.
