Creganna Medical offers the most advanced balloon forming technology in the industry.
Our proprietary balloon technology, SmartForm™, provides new levels of complexity and customization in balloon design along with consistent manufacturing of higher performing products. Our optimized balloon forming technology induces:
- Lower shrinkage levels
- More accurately controlled compliance curves
- Superior options to lower wall and neck thickness

SmartForm™ also enables rapid prototyping and the fast tracking of balloon designs, often within minutes; ideal when speed is a critical factor.
In addition to our proprietary technology we also manufacture balloons using other processing technologies common throughout the industry.
All balloon manufacturing is conducted in cleanroom environments.
What is SmartForm™ different?
Similar principles apply to our proprietary SmartForm™ processing technology as to those of current balloon technology – combining pressure, tension and heat to form a balloon. What differs with our next-generation technology is that it offers greater levels of control and flexibility around these principles and also addresses some of the inherent issues associated with traditional balloon forming technologies including:
- Heat & heat set profiles
- Speed & stretch profiles
- Pressure & flow profiles
A proven technology
Over 1,000 balloon designs have been delivered using SmartForm™ technology. Many of these balloons are also supplied in volume for commercially available and approved medical devices.
Here is what our customers have to say about our technology:
An innovative technology that has delivered high performing balloons with good consistency in double wall thickness and O.D.
