ERCP balloon catheters are flexible, single-use tools used during endoscopic procedures to remove bile duct stones. After insertion via an endoscope, the inflatable balloon is positioned around the stones and expanded to dislodge or trap them for retrieval, often aided by contrast imaging for precision.
These devices are typically classified as single-use and may include multiple lumens for guidewires or contrast delivery. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally designed for sterile, one-time clinical use in controlled procedural settings.
