  • Inflation/deflation device for balloon catheter
    Patent number: 4808165
    Abstract: An inflation/deflation device for balloon catheter includes a pair of members pivoted to one another at one end. The first member has a recess and slot opening to one side for receiving the barrel of a syringe and the flange on the barrel, respectively. The second member carries a fitting having a slot opening to one side for receiving the flange of the plunger. The device has handles on the ends of the members remote from the pivot axis whereby the members can be moved toward and away from one another. In this manner, the balloon catheter may be inflated and deflated rapidly and with a force-multiplying effect.
