GORE® Tri-Lobe Balloon Catheter
The GORE Tri-Lobe Balloon Catheter is a compliant balloon catheter designed to facilitate endovascular aortic repair procedures by improving graft positioning, wall apposition, and procedural control. Its unique tri-lobe design allows continuous blood flow during balloon inflation, helping reduce hemodynamic instability while minimizing endoprosthesis movement.
Description
Features
- Unique tri-lobe balloon design allows continuous blood flow during inflation
- Compliant polyurethane balloon construction for enhanced conformability
- Rapid, uniform, and simultaneous inflation/deflation of all balloon lobes
- Designed to minimize endoprosthesis movement during graft positioning
- Compatible with 18 Fr introducer sheaths
- Available in two size ranges for vessel diameters from 16–42 mm
- Supports thoracic and abdominal endovascular aortic repair procedures
- Compatible with GORE TAG, TAG Thoracic Branch, and EXCLUDER device platforms
Benefits
- Enhances procedural stability and physician control during EVAR and TEVAR procedures
- Maintains distal perfusion by allowing blood flow around the inflated lobes
- Helps reduce blood pressure spikes during balloon inflation
- Improves graft apposition and sealing within large vessels
- Minimizes the risk of graft movement during deployment and molding
- Supports efficient and controlled endovascular interventions in complex anatomy
- Designed to improve procedural precision without fully occluding the aorta
