Abstract
A balloon dissector assembly includes a balloon dissector having an elongate shaft, a handle disposed on a proximal portion of the elongate shaft, and a dissection balloon supported on a distal portion of the elongate shaft. The dissection balloon includes a substantially cylindrical shape having a deflated condition in which the dissection balloon includes a first diameter between the proximal and distal ends, an inflated condition in which the dissection balloon includes a second diameter between the proximal and distal ends, and a plurality of intermediate conditions in which the balloon transitions from the deflated condition to the inflated condition progressively from the proximal end to the distal end.
