Creative Balloons is a specialized medical device company. The company develops and markets a novel catheter technology based on microscopically thin, complex-shaped balloon films made of polyurethane (PUR). Creative Balloons uses the properties of these extraordinary structures for problem-solving platform concepts in the fecal, urinary and respiratory segments. The current focus is on systems to contain patient contamination. In this context, Creative Balloons is developing a drainage technology for fecal management in intensive care patients that offers significant advantages in care, hygiene management and patient therapy. The first product of the fecal platform, hygh-tec®, is already being used in the DACH region as a technology leader with great success. hygh-tec® combines intelligent design with the exceptionally elastic properties of polyurethane. In fecal management, this catheter technology thus offers a uniquely tight access to the patient's colon. This opens up new therapeutically oriented applications. In addition to contamination-free stool drainage, the trans-anal sealing mechanism of hygh-tec also enables an interventional, lavage-like delivery of substances into the colon. Creative Balloons was founded in 2009 and is based in Waghäusel near Heidelberg, Germany.
