• Molding and extrusion operations are processed in segregated class 100K clean rooms

OEM Balloons for PTCA, PTA, Neuro

Balloon blowing is a critical process where time, heat and pressure are critical parameter for performing well qualified balloons with consistent walls, good and consistent burst pressure and as little imperfections like gel-residues form the balloon extrusion process, 'fish-eyes' and such.

A side a good blowing process and certified balloon blowing equipment high quality balloon extrusion is the key factor.

All these parameters make this process, which usually is a bottleneck in lean manufacturing due to low yields and long cycles, very critical.

Quite a number of our customers decided to outsource or partially outsource their balloon manufacturing.

2Spring can help you with OEM balloons in a wide range of materials (Silicone, PE, PET, PA, PU) both in non-, semi- or full-compliant condition and as wide as 50mm or as long as 500mm. We offer PTCA, PTA (like Below The Knee), Neuro and other applications.

Also we can support you with specialties like eccentric, 1 side closed, double-lumen, wire in the wall balloons and more.
