Gore® Tri-Lobe Balloon Catheter
Continuous Blood Flow. Minimized Endoprosthesis Movement.
The Gore® Tri-Lobe Balloon Catheter gives surgeons greater stability and control when positioning endovascular grafts. Its unique tri-lobe design maintains continuous blood flow around the lobes while inflated — reducing hemodynamic disruption throughout the procedure without occluding the aorta.
Key Features
- Device stability — Reduced endoprosthesis movement during positioning for more accurate placement.
- Continuous blood flow — Tri-lobe design allows uninterrupted aortic flow while the balloon is inflated.
- Compliant construction — Polyurethane balloons conform closely to the endoprosthesis for optimal apposition.
- Greater control — Rapid, uniform, simultaneous lobe inflation/deflation minimizes blood pressure spikes.
Device Compatibility
Available in two sizes, both compatible with 18 Fr introducer sheaths:
- Small (16–32 mm) — Compatible with the Gore® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System, Gore® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis, or Gore® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis.
- Large (26–42 mm) — Compatible with the Gore® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System or Gore® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis.
