C2 CryoBalloon Ablation

 

 

 

 

Ready to ablate a wide range²⁾

Highly safe and effective in both naïve and refractory patients with Barrett’s esophagus. New catheter designs reach tubular structures, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and big and small lesions.

This device changes how you see Barrett’s esophagus ²⁾

"The C2 CryoBalloon is an endoscopic technology which helps freeze pre-cancerous cells within Barrett’s esophagus to reduce the risk of developing cancer. And there’s a lot of data to support that this is a highly effective treatment in reducing that risk." Dr. Vinay Sehgal, Consultant gastroenterologist and interventional endoscopist at University College Hospital London, UK

Patients experienced less post-procedure pain and need for narcotic medication^{2), 4)}

Peak pain was lower after CryoBalloon ablation (median VAS 2 vs. 4, P < .01) Duration of pain was shorter after CryoBalloon ablation (median 2 vs. 4 days, P < .01) Mild pain was reported by 27% of patients immediately after cryoablation and by 14% after 2 days2)

Cryoablation is significantly less painful than RFA4)

"I also noticed that on the patients we have treated, they have less pain during the procedure, so I recognize that they don’t need so much painkillers during the procedure and after the procedure." Dr. Khanh Do-Cong Pham, Consultant endoscopist and gastroenterologist at Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway
