March 24, 2025

Quasar Medical Joins Chamfr 

Chamfr is excited to welcome Quasar Medical to our platform, adding 6 new SKUs of top-tier medical balloons to our offerings.  Quasar Medical’s balloons are made with reliable materials and manufacturing processes, ensuring consistent performance in common medical applications like structural heart, neurovascular and peripheral inventions. 

Understanding Medical Balloon Compliance 

In medical device development, balloon compliance refers to how much the balloon expands under pressure. The level of compliance is crucial for selecting the right balloon for specific applications. Here’s a quick breakdown of the two primary types of medical balloons that Quasar Medical offers: 

  • Non-Compliant Balloons: Made from rigid materials like nylon 12, these balloons offer minimal expansion when inflated, providing precise control and a consistent force application. Non-compliant balloons are essential for precise operations like stent deployment, where accurate sizing is critical. 
  • Semi-Compliant Balloons: Constructed with more flexible materials such as Pebax® or lower-durometer nylons, semi-compliant balloons expand moderately under pressure. This offers a balanced combination of flexibility and strength, making them ideal for applications like drug-coated balloon angioplasty, where some expansion is needed without compromising control. 

Quasar Medical Balloon Specs: 

  • Materials: Pebax and nylon 
  • Shape: Cylindrical 
  • Diameters:  2.5mm to 30mm 
  • Compliance Options: Non-compliant and semi-compliant
