Transparent, disposable elastic balloon attachments for fiber endoscopy
Endoscopy with micro-balloon attachments: This novel and cost-efficient manufacturing technology utilizes micro-system technologies, to ensure production of high quality, transparent, elastic disposable balloon attachments of very small dimensions (1-5mm) for use in fiber optic endoscopy. These endoscopes are well suited for the analysis of narrow cavities during angioscopy, cardioscopy and arthroscopy. This translucent, elastic balloon element can be expanded by gas or fluids to displace adsorbing or scattering fluids, to allow optical tests within the range of ultraviolet, infrared and visible light.
