catheter balloons

A catheter balloon is a small, inflatable device connected to a catheter—a thin tube inserted into the body. Once the catheter is in place, the balloon is inflated with fluid to hold it securely, preventing movement and ensuring proper placement. This technique is commonly used in medical procedures such as urinary drainage, cardiovascular interventions, or delivering treatments. The balloon can be deflated and removed when no longer needed, making the process minimally invasive. It’s a crucial tool for safely and effectively managing various medical conditions that require internal access.
