eustachian tube balloon dilation device |
| Regulation Description |
Eustachian tube balloon dilation system. |
| Definition |
The device is intended for use in dilating the cartilaginous portion of the Eustachian tube for treating persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction. |
| Physical State |
A Eustachian tube balloon dilation device consists of a catheter with an inflatable, plastic balloon, which is located at the flexible, distal end. The catheter shaft has a dual lumen to enable inflation of the balloon and has a soft, balled tip to prevent advancement into the bony isthmus of the Eustachian tube. The catheter materials are primarily plastic and stainless steel and the balloon is also plastic. The catheter joints are bonded using adhesives. |
| Technical Method |
The balloon catheter is loaded through a guide catheter through the nose to the Eustachian tube. The balloon is manually advanced and inserted into the cartilaginous Eustachian tube and inflated to a desired pressure and specified duration. The balloon is then deflated and removed from the nose. |
