![World's longest angioplasty balloon at 340mm, by Mike Badera and Precision Extrusion, Inc.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsgjRwVxTqx_2X6YUOdy0IHrILiiqFh6kXmd7VwtPTqLTnvKDWq9bKQOzNuSawVzkGOqvCJXqP85ly7418aPGLVK1uDWYjVrGtIGB1HVaqYs-lPesatxZ-P-hLufSL7Tcs4jKOMhD9CTJ9/s400/precisionextru_a.jpg)
It's my understanding that until now, there was no stable process to produce a quality thin-wall balloon, or multiples of balloons, at this size. It's also my understanding that there aren't a lot of in-body applications for a 340mm angioplasty balloon, but that there exist previously unmet needs in the 200-250mm range.
Awesome! Glad to hear all that work in Ireland is paying off Dad!
