What are balloon tips?

Balloon tips are specialized catheters equipped with inflatable balloons at their tips, used primarily in medical procedures. They facilitate various applications, such as expanding narrowed blood vessels in angioplasty or aiding in the delivery of drugs directly to targeted areas. The balloons can be inflated or deflated to achieve desired effects, such as maintaining vessel patency or supporting structures within the body. Proper use of balloon tips is essential for effective treatment and patient safety.
