OE-A51 balloon – An Essential Interface for Precision Endoscopic Ultrasound
In endoscopic ultrasound examinations, the accuracy of the image obtained depends directly on the quality of contact between the endoscope probe and the patient's internal tissues. The Pentax Medical OE-A51 balloon has been specifically designed to meet this crucial requirement. For single use, this balloon is a suitable solution for healthcare professionals who want to combine clinical effectiveness and safety of use.
This model is exclusively compatible with the EG-3670URK and EG36-J10UR ultrasound endoscopes, ensuring seamless integration within the Pentax ecosystem. When inflated at the end of the endoscope, the OE-A51 balloon forms a fluid-filled space between the probe and the tissue, reducing artefacts and significantly improving the clarity of ultrasound images. This uniform contact makes anatomical structures easier to see, enabling more accurate diagnosis, particularly in gastrointestinal examinations.
Its sterile, single-use design limits the risk of cross-contamination, which is essential in the strict hygiene protocols of endoscopic suites. Its shape and texture have been designed to facilitate quick and safe placement, while ensuring stable retention during the examination. The OE-A51 is therefore an essential component for reliable endoscopic ultrasound examinations, without compromising patient safety or the smooth running of the medical procedure.
Thanks to its compatibility with Pentax Medical equipment, the OE-A51 balloon also helps to extend the life of endoscopes by avoiding incompatible accessories. This level of compatibility promotes standardisation of consumables within hospital departments, simplifying stock management and cleaning protocols.
Backed by Pentax Medical's expertise, the OE-A51 balloon plays a key role in improving endoscopic ultrasound practices by combining precision, safety and ease of use.
