What are the applications of a single-use pulmonary balloon dilatation catheter?

A single-use pulmonary balloon dilatation catheter is a medical device used in interventional pulmonology to treat various respiratory conditions. It is primarily employed in the treatment of bronchial stenosis, which refers to the narrowing of the airway passages. This catheter is specifically designed to dilate these narrowed areas by inflating a balloon that pushes against the constricted tissue, allowing for improved airflow and better lung function. Additionally, the device can be used in the management of tracheobronchial strictures, tracheomalacia, and airway obstructive lesions. The single-use nature of the catheter ensures safety and reduces the risk of cross-contamination between patients. Overall, it is a valuable tool for physicians in providing effective and minimally invasive treatment for various respiratory conditions.
