With the L.B. Medical Inflatable Tissue Elevator System
This is the MOST minimally invasive procedure for access to the carpal tunnel. By protecting the body's important anatomy, the minimally invasive inflatable balloon tissue elevator expander increases the space in the carpal tunnel without the use of hard metal dilators and rasps. This improves decompression and visualization of the carpal tunnel during the endoscopic procedure.
Balloon Carpal Tunnelplasty is the “Procedure of Choice” for the Most Uncompromising Patients
Most surgeons historically have performed the open procedure. This procedure consists of making an incision up to 2 inches in the hand and wrist, and then cutting the carpal ligament. Balloon Carpal Tunnelpasty is a minimally invasive technique that is performed under local anesthetic with optional sedation. It avoids incisions in the palm of the hand, allowing improved access and more protection with improved visualization, expansion and decompression of the carpal tunnel.
