MEDICAL BALLOONS engineered around your application

Select a compliant, semi-compliant or non-compliant platform, then refine the material, geometry and performance targets with our engineering team.

Match balloon behavior to the clinical and mechanical objective

Compliance is only one design axis. Material, wall profile, geometry, inflation conditions and the surrounding device architecture should be reviewed together.

01

Maximum adaptability

Compliant Balloons

Designed for applications that benefit from a softer, more conformable response as inflation pressure increases.

  • Polyurethane (PU)
  • E-beam cross-linked LDPE
  • Elastomeric materials
  • Solvent-cast PU available
02

Balanced response

Semi-Compliant Balloons

A practical middle ground when the design requires controlled expansion with more conformity than a non-compliant platform.

  • Nylon
  • E-beam cross-linked LLDPE
  • Standard and custom pathways
03

Dimensional control

Non-Compliant Balloons

Built for applications that prioritize defined geometry and limited diameter growth across the intended pressure range.

  • PET construction
  • Application-specific geometry
  • Burst target review

Additional material and manufacturing options

Process option

Solvent-Cast PU Balloons

Solvent-cast polyurethane is available for programs requiring a PU construction and application-specific balloon characteristics.

Program-specific

Implantable Balloon Options

Implantable constructions are available in PU or Dacron®. Material suitability, documentation and final requirements are confirmed for the specific program.

Application-specific geometry: balloon body, neck, transition and shaft interfaces can be reviewed as one component system.

Standard nylon balloon sizes

Use the dimensions below to identify a starting point. Confirm the finished profile, working length, pressure requirements and interface geometry before ordering.

Selection note: standard availability describes nominal OD and length ranges only. Confirm tolerances, wall, compliance and burst requirements with Polymerex for the selected configuration.

Tailored geometry and performance using proprietary material blends

Custom balloons can be developed around the device architecture instead of forcing the application into a standard configuration. The program can extend from product and process design through cleanroom component assembly, process development, and validation planning under the agreed project scope.

01

Define geometry

Balloon OD, working length, neck dimensions, transitions and mating shaft interfaces.

02

Set the response

Target softness, compliance behavior and inflation characteristics for the intended use.

03

Establish strength

Burst targets, pressure conditions, wall profile and the planned verification approach.

04

Confirm the process

Bonding method, handling, packaging, cleanliness and production-volume requirements.

Send the application requirements—not only a target diameter.

  • Drawing or dimensional sketch
  • Material preference or constraints
  • Compliance and pressure targets
  • Interface and bonding method
  • Prototype and annual quantities
  • Quality documentation needs

Engineering and regulatory note

Validate the balloon as part of the finished device.

Final suitability depends on the full device design, inflation medium, pressure cycle, interfaces, sterilization method, intended use and customer validation.

Implantability, biocompatibility, cleanliness, shelf life and regulatory documentation apply only when specifically confirmed in the approved quotation, drawing, certificate or quality agreement.
