Frequently asked questions

Blow molding of compliant and non-compliant medical balloons.

What machine forms a balloon catheter?

UBM’s balloon forming (blow molding) machine, CGT-UBF-1000 / CGT-UBF-2000, forms compliant and non-compliant balloons from Ø0.5 mm to 50 mm and 1–300 mm in length.

Does UBM offer a dual-mode balloon forming machine?

Yes — the CGT-DUBF-1000 / CGT-DUBF-2000 run two forming modes on one platform for broader process coverage.

Is tubing pre-stretching needed before forming?

Yes. UBM’s pre-stretching machines CGT-PSM-1000 / CGT-MPSM-1000 condition and pre-stretch the extrusion tubing (parison) before forming for consistent balloon walls.

Can the forming machine make high-pressure PTCA balloons?

Yes — the CGT-UBF platform forms both compliant and non-compliant balloons, including high-pressure PTCA / PTA balloons.

Does the forming machine support process traceability?

Yes. Forming parameters are recorded for MES-ready, SQL-based traceability supporting IQ / OQ / PQ validation.
