Abstract
Some implementations of the disclosure are directed to a balloon dilator system, including: a balloon pump hand piece configured to pump pressurized fluid through a flexible tube to inflate an inflatable balloon, the balloon pump hand piece comprising: an attachment mechanism for removably coupling the balloon pump hand piece to a proximal end of an endoscope; the flexible tube, wherein the flexible tube is configured to be in fluid communication with the balloon pump hand piece at a first end of the flexible tube, and the inflatable balloon at a second end of the flexible tube; a hollow inner cannula; and the inflatable balloon, wherein the inflatable balloon is external to and circumferentially attached to the hollow inner cannula between the proximal end of the hollow inner cannula and the distal end of the hollow inner cannula.
