Occlusion catheters are available with a small balloon or a large balloon for use in a variety of procedures.

Small balloon occlusion catheters are effective in gaining temporary occlusion of blood flow in the following applications:

• Small diameter vessels such as those in the distal periphery.
• Operative occlusion of blood supply to specific organs such as the kidneys.
• Vascular-neuro surgery procedures, such as carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas.

Large balloon occlusion catheters are ideally suited for occlusion control in:

• Aortic or cardiac hemorrhage.
• Internal jugular vein hemorrhage near the base of the skull.
• Operation on the lower part of the abdominal aorta and renal arteries to eliminate the need for extensive dissection.
• Thrombectomy procedure utilizing the Fogarty graft thrombectomy catheter.
