Access and Dilation for PCNL and URS
Access and Dilation for PCNL and URS
Percutaneous surgery using a lithotripter has become standard procedure in stone management.
The Olympus range of EZDilate balloon dilators facilitates the procedure in a number of ways. EZDilate Balloon Dilators, available in multiple sizes, allow for easy, precise access in either the ureter or the kidney with minimized patient trauma.
Designed for smooth, atraumatic insertion into the patient's anatomy, features such as the fully radiopaque tip and advanced hydtrophilic and silicone coatings on the balloon ensure precise visualization and smooth, controlled percutaneous and ureteroscopic access.
Controlled access, precise visualization and ease of use is possible with one balloon, complementing the rest of the critical tools that are needed to improve patient outcomes.
EZDilate Balloon Dilators provides a high-pressure, radial dilation method that may minimize trauma to the patient's anatomy.
Controlled single−step dilation of the balloon facilitates accurate and predictable access thus improving efficiency and safety of procedures.
All EZDilate Balloon Dilators have a fully radiopaque tip as well as two radiopaque marker bands within the balloons to signify the distal and proximal ends of maximum dilation.
These navigation aids provide assurance of precise visualization that the device is in the desired location prior to inflation.
Radiopaque Tips
EZDilate Balloon Dilators are tapered at the distal end for smooth, atraumatic insertion into the patient anatomy.
- The Nephroscoptymy balloon dilators each include a PTFE renal sheath with a taperd distal edge which ensures easy placement over the balloon even in challenging surrounding tissue
- Hydrophilic and silicone coatings on EZDilate balloons promote smooth, low-friction positioning.
The integrated folding tool (pre-threaded on the catheter) ensures a small profile upon reinsertion for efficient percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL/PNL).

Refolded EZDilate Balloon
EZDilate balloon dilators are available in multiple sizes to allow safe ureter dilation for stricture relief as well as safe access during perctaneous surgery with minimized trauma. allow for easy, precise access to stones in either the ureter or the kidney with minimized trauma.
Designed to dilate the nephrostomy tract facilitating placement of a renal sheath to accomodate various instruments and allow passage for larger stone fragments.
Available in size:
PCNL balloons 8 mm (24 Fr.) and 10 mm (30 Fr.) with a length of 15 cm)
Designed to ensure stricture relief and gentle ureteral dilation to form a path for larger instruments.
Available in size:
URS balloons in 4 cm & 10 cm length from 4 mm (12 Fr.) to 6 mm (18 Fr.) diameter
The high-pressure, disposable inflation device is included with EZDilate balloon kits and is also available separately.
Its intuitive design includes a simple plunger-engagement swtich that allows for easy, precise inflation as well as rapid deflation.
