The True Dilatation Balloon Valvuloplasty Catheter is indicated for balloon aortic valvuloplasty.

Functional description

An over-the-wire coaxial catheter with a balloon fixed at the tip. The catheter has two lumens: one lumen is used to inflate and deflate the balloon and the other permits the use of a guidewire to position the catheter.
