Hercules® 100 is the first balloon designed for transnasal esophageal (TNE) strictures.
Created for patients and designed for laryngologistss, the Hercules® 100 is the first balloon for transnasal esophageal (TNE) strictures.
With a transnasal indication and a 100 cm catheter length that is comparable to most transnasal endoscopes, this device was created to meet the specific needs of laryngologists and the transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) procedures they perform.The proven three-stage balloon technology and P.E.T. Flex™ material offers the strength and flexibility necessary to ensure accurate dilations.
Proven
With high strength, reliability, and flexibility, the Hercules® 100 ensures accurate dilations without conforming strictures.
Convenient
Dilations can be performed in-office, which can aid in reducing post-procedure recovery times, complications, and costs.
Efficient
The Hercules® 100 was created to meet the needs of ENTs and the transnasal esophagoscopy procedures they perform.
Balloon dilators are designed to offer increased procedural benefits compared to bougie dilators.
Balloons
– Provide controlled radial dilation
– Used with Transnasal Endoscopes to provide visualization during the procedure
Bougies
– Not compatible with transnasal endoscopes
– Esophageal Perforation is associated with the blind passage of dilators
– Increased chance of the shearing effects that result from bougies
In-office approach
Go from the OR to the office. The Hercules 100 Transnasal Esophageal Balloon is the first balloon designed for transnasal esophageal procedures, which allow for in-office treatment.
