Proper handling of the ureteral dilation balloon is critical for patient safety and optimal procedural outcomes. Below are the key operating precautions for both endoscopic and X-ray dilation balloons, based on clinical best practices and device specifications from Hunan Endovascular Device Co., Ltd and its trusted brand EVT Medical.
Before inflating the balloon, connect a syringe to the inflation port and evacuate any residual air from the balloon. Removing air ensures accurate pressure delivery and prevents uneven expansion, reducing the risk of balloon rupture or incomplete dilation. EVT Medical balloons are engineered for precision, and proper air evacuation is the first step to achieving consistent clinical results.
Inflation Pressure: Inflate to 12–14 atm and maintain the pressure for at least 30 seconds to achieve effective dilation of fibrotic strictures. Do not exceed the rated burst pressure of 14 atm. All EVT Medical dilation balloons undergo rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance at high pressures.
Guide Tip Installation: Attach the supplied guide tip to the working channel of the rigid ureteroscope before inserting the balloon catheter. This facilitates smooth balloon insertion, protects the balloon tip, and prevents guidewire deformation during navigation through narrow or tortuous ureters. EVT Medical includes this guide tip with every endoscopic dilation balloon to enhance procedural safety and ease of use.
These precautions are essential for maximizing the safety and effectiveness of ureteral balloon dilation, whether performed under fluoroscopy or direct endoscopic visualization. Hunan Endovascular Device Co., Ltd (brand: EVT Medical) is committed to providing urologists with high-quality, reliable devices designed for minimally invasive urology procedures.
