Advanced Polymers produces compliant and non compliant balloons & catheters for a wide range of applications. Varying from “standard” cylindrical balloons to cone shaped or dogbone shape balloons. Balloons are produced using blowmolding process from an extruded tube, so typically have two balloon legs.
Our supplier SSF produces molded silicone balloons & catheters , manufactured to you specification.
NOTE: via Advanced Polymers website over 50 different types of standard balloons can be ordered. This is great for R&D or to get a reference.
Non-Compliant Dilatation Medical Balloons
- Ultra high-strength, thin-walled
- Fabricated from PET and Nylon
- 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 (PET)
- 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)
Remember: Not all Medical 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.
Advanced Polymers will custom produce a balloon to your specifications on either a production or prototype basis.
Semi-Compliant Dilatation Medical Balloons
- High-strength, thin-walled
- Can be fabricated from PET, Nylon, Polyurethane, other thermoplastic elastomers
- Used for PTCA, PTA, stent delivery, Kyphoplasty 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)
Advanced Polymers will custom produce a balloon to your specifications on either a production or prototype basis.
Compliant Medical 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.
