Dilation Catheters Product Engineering Balloon material, size, physics Size: diameter & length
Diameter and Length The balloon diameter is the nominal inflated balloon diameter measured at a specified pressure The balloon length typically refers to the working length of the balloon, or the length of the straight body section

Dilation Catheters Product Engineering Characteristics Size: diameter & length Material Profile
Balloon Profile Max diameter of a balloon mounted on a catheter when: Deflated Wrapped
Balloon Profile Balloon profile is the maximum diameter of the balloon when mounted on a catheter in its deflated and wrapped condition or the smallest hole through which the deflated wrapped balloon can pass
Balloon Profile Profile: Maximum cross sectional area or diameter (F) 5F catheter with balloon mounted => 5.7 F A 5.7 F balloon catheter necessitates 6 F catheter Low profile: material, wrapping, etc Low profile: smaller sheath @ crossability
