ADVANCED POLYMERS, INC. – MEDICAL BALLOONS
NON-COMPLIANT, SEMI-COMPLIANT AND COMPLIANT

Advanced Polymers, Inc., specializes in the design, development and manufacture of non-compliant balloons, semi-compliant balloons and compliant balloons.

   

NON-COMPLIANT DILATATION BALLOONS

  • Ultra high-strength, thin-walled
  • Fabricated from PET
  • Used for PTCA, PTA, stent delivery, and other dilatation procedures
  • Compliance range: 0-10% (typical)
  • Optically clear (or colored)
  • Transmit light over very broad spectrum including ND: YAG lasers
  • Sizes range from 0.5 to 50 mm in diameter in virtually any working length
  • Burst pressures typically range from 15-400 psi (1-27 atm)
  • Balloon coatings available.

    Remember: Not all PET balloons are equal! It is not enough to produce thin-walled balloons. The wall thickness or thinness in the cone and neck area is just as important as a thin body, and in most circumstances, a thin neck and cone are critical for achieving low profile and flexibility (track ability). Advanced Polymers has optimized and perfected the balloon forming process, material and equipment to produce the thinnest and strongest overall balloon.

    SEMI-COMPLIANT DILATATION BALLOONS

  • High-strength, thin-walled
  • Can be fabricated from PET, Nylon, Polyurethane, other thermoplastic
         elastomers
  • Used for PTCA, PTA, stent delivery and other dilatation procedures
  • Compliance range: 10-20% (typical)
  • Sizes range from 0.5 to 50 mm in diameter in virtually any working length
  • Burst pressures typically range from 15-375 psi (1-25.5 atm)

    COMPLIANT BALLOONS

  • Low pressure, thin and thick-walled
  • Fabricated from Polyurethane, Nylon elastomers, and other thermoplastic
         elastomers
  • Used for occlusion and anchoring in a variety of medical procedures
  • Compliance range: 20-100% or more
  • Sizes range from .5 to 60 mm in diameter in virtually any working length.
  • Burst pressures typically range from 0-30 psi (0-2 atm)
  • Typically used to replace latex and silicone balloons in critical high-value
         medical devices.

    Advanced Polymers will custom produce a balloon to your specifications on either a production or prototype basis. Use our blank balloon drawing to create your own balloon specification.
