PET Balloon Dilators
The Multi-Pressure Alternative
Pressure Dilates Strictures, Not Size
Technique Overview:
The Multi-Stage Inflation Technique increases balloon pressure in controlled
stages, gradually dilating the stricture to the desired endpoint. At each stage,
the exact pressure is documented for a precise measurement of the dilation
progress. Exact pressure allows the procedure to be consistent and reliable
from dilation to dilation. Here is an overview of the technique:
1) Select an Eliminator® balloon judged to be 6 to 9 mm in
diameter larger than the stricture.
2) Inflate the balloon with water or a mixture of contrast and
water, then proceed as outlined below, maintaining pressure
for 30 to 60 seconds at each stage:
Balloon Size 6 mm/18F 8 mm/24F 10 mm/30F 12 mm/36F 15 mm/45F 18 mm/54F 20 mm/60F Stage One 60 psi/4.1 atm 60 psi/4.1 atm 45 psi/3.1 atm 45 psi/3.1 atm 30 psi/2.0 atm 25 psi/1.7 atm 25 psi/1.7 atm Stage Two 90 psi/6.1 atm 90 psi/6.1 atm 68 psi/4.6 atm 68 psi/4.6 atm 45 psi/3.1 atm 38 psi/2.6 atm 38 psi/2.6 atm Stage Three*

Pressure Dilates Strictures, Not Size
Balloons dilate strictures with the radial force generated by inflating them to
predetermined pressures. The Eliminator® balloons patented PET material
disperses pressure along the full length of the balloon ensuring repeatable,
reliable balloon sizing. When resistance is met, with non PET balloons, the
balloon may expand into the area surrounding the stricture. When this occurs,
the expected balloon diameter may not be achieved when inflated to
recommended levels.
In contrast, Eliminator® PET Balloon Dilators are true to size, every time.

ConMed’s Rule of One
The ConMed® Eliminator® PET Balloon Dilators combine the radial strength you need to dilate even the
tightest strictures with an innovative, cost-effective alternative to conventional balloon dilation. The
Multi-Stage Inflation Technique is a simple method for obtaining a complete and reliable dilation with a
single Eliminator® PET Balloon Dilator.
A Cost-Effective Approach
The Multi-Stage Inflation Technique helps you control the
cost of balloon dilation. By eliminating the need to use
multiple balloons the dilation procedure product cost may
be reduced by two-thirds vs. the traditional three-stage
dilation procedure. The Eliminator® balloon is more costeffective than the competitive serially expanding balloon
dilator. When the premium price is factored in, the per
procedure product cost is approximately 46% lower when
utilizing the Eliminator® balloon.
