Product overviewThe Hospi Line CBD Stone Extraction Balloon is a specialized medical device used in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures for the removal of common bile duct (CBD) stones. It is designed to facilitate extraction of large or difficult-to-remove stones and is commonly used in conjunction with other endoscopic techniques.
Overview of Balloon ExtractionBalloon extraction involves the use of inflatable balloons to dilate the bile duct and facilitate the removal of stones. This technique is particularly effective for large or difficult-to-remove stones and is often used together with sphincterotomy or other endoscopic retrieval methods.
Procedure- Visualization and Localization: Stones are identified via cholangiogram during ERCP.
- Balloon Dilation: The balloon is inflated within the bile duct or sphincter to widen the passage.
- Stone Removal: Stones are extracted using balloon sweeps, baskets, or other retrieval tools.
Advantages- High success rates (up to 97%) in clearing CBD stones, including large ones.
- Reduced need for additional interventions such as lithotripsy or repeat ERCPs.
- Effective in patients with anatomical challenges such as periampullary diverticula.
