High
Pressure Procedure Balloons
DSA
represents the world’s leading OEM manufacturer of high pressure
balloons, specializing in the design, development and manufacture
of ultra-high strength, thin-walled balloons for dilatation
procedures. Their patented PET balloons are optically clear
and transmit light over a very broad spectrum, including Nd:YAG
lasers.
Balloon
fabrication begins with precision in-house extrusion capability
including an ultra-fine filtration process. Balloons are manufactured
from PET and other proprietary polymers in sizes ranging from
0.5 to 40mm in diameter by any working length. Virtually any
burst pressure can be produced, but typical ratings are from
6 to 31 bars (90 - 450 psi). Wall thickness may be as thin
as 0.00015”, and tensile strength to 60,000 psi may be produced.
Proprietary
coatings have been developed to modify the surface properties,
typically creating a “softer” feel for stent deployment or
enhanced lubricity.
A sample
program for PET balloons of a “house” design allows quick
access to these products in standard angioplasty sizes.

Silicone
Rubber Balloons
In
the proper application, balloons fabricated from silicone
rubber are the gold standard for reliability, elasticity and
biocompatibility. Recent developments in Class VI rubber include
extrusion grade silicones with elasticity in excess of 1400%.
These
balloons may be LIM, compression molded, dipped, blow molded
or extruded depending on your requirements and design. Our
FDA registered, ISO-9001 certified manufacturer can supply
either the balloons alone for in-house assembly or provide
complete contract assembly, including fabrication, bonding,
reinforcement and screen-printing.
