WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cook Medical continues to innovate in the endoscopy market with Hercules™, the strongest three-stage balloon dilator for benign and malignant strictures in the esophagus. The Endoscopy strategic business unit of Cook, offering the most comprehensive line of devices for the endoscopy market, has designed with first-of-its-kind P.E.T.FLEX™ technology, the strongest dilation material available. Hercules offers an unmatched combination of strength, and staging accuracy. As a result, Hercules –used in almost 10,000 dilation cases since its release this summer – generates greater radial force to a stricture at the same or lower pressures (when comparing the 18-19-20 balloon)2 than other stageable balloon dilators, providing longer, luminal patency and potentially allowing for a faster, more effective dilation procedure.
