Balloon Catheter for Thermal Ablation Protection (Case No. 2024-210)

Summary UCLA researchers have developed a novel planar balloon catheter that reliably separates and protects organs during thermal ablation procedures. By creating a sheet-like thermal barrier, the device mitigates unintended injury to nearby healthy tissues—particularly the stomach and bowel—thereby enabling safer and more effective treatment...
