Balloon catheters are used in various medical procedures to improve patient outcomes. They are minimally invasive, reduce recovery time, and offer precise treatment. Applications include angioplasty for heart disease, stent placement, urinary tract blockage removal, and dilation of narrowed blood vessels. There are several examples as below,

▶ Angioplasty - used to treat narrowed or blocked arteries in the heart, legs, or arms.

▶ Stent placement - used to keep arteries or veins open after angioplasty or in other cases where a vessel is blocked or narrowed.

▶ Urology - used to treat urinary tract blockages or obstructions, such as kidney stones or bladder tumors.

▶ Gastroenterology - used to treat digestive system blockages or obstructions, such as in the bile duct or esophagus.

▶ Obstetrics and gynecology - used to induce labor, manage postpartum bleeding, or to help diagnose and treat conditions such as uterine fibroids.
