Description
The ConMed Advantage® Esophageal Balloon Dilator Series provides controlled, predictable dilation for esophageal strictures using a multi-stage balloon design. Each balloon allows clinicians to achieve two or three sequential dilation diameters with a single device, reducing balloon exchanges and improving procedural efficiency.
Designed for endoscopic or fluoroscopic guidance, Advantage balloons feature a long dilation segment, non-compliant balloon material, and a smooth, atraumatic catheter tip engineered for ease of passage through tight esophageal segments.
This system is ideal for the treatment of benign esophageal strictures, rings, and postoperative narrowing, and is available in 15 mm, 18 mm, and 20 mm multi-stage expansion options.
Key Features
- Multi-stage dilation: expands through two or three preset diameters
- Reduces the need for multiple balloon exchanges
- Non-compliant balloon material for precise, controlled radial force
- Long, uniform dilation segment
- Atraumatic tapered catheter tip
- Designed for esophageal stricture dilation under endoscopic or fluoroscopic visualization
- Sterile, single-use

FAQs
1.What is a multi-stage esophageal balloon?
It is a balloon that expands through two–three preset diameters, allowing staged dilation with one device.
2.What procedures are these used for?
Used for endoscopic treatment of benign esophageal strictures, rings, and postsurgical narrowing.
3.What is the difference between the SKUs?
- 000735 — final diameter 15 mm (small)
- 000736 — final diameter 18 mm (medium)
- 000379 — final diameter 20 mm (large)
4.Are these balloons reusable?
No. All Advantage balloons are single-use, sterile devices.
