SHAPE THE FUTURE
In 1672, Sir Thomas Willis described successful dilatation of the esophagus with a whalebone.
The basic shape of esophageal dilators has remained a cylindrical shape for centuries.Contemporary medical research has recently confirmed the upper esophageal sphincter is not round. Cylindrical dilators may be inappropriate.
It's time to
rethink dilation.
Introducing the Infinity® Esophageal Dilation System from Hope Medical. Infinity® is the culmination of ten years of research by a multi-disciplinary team of gastroenterologists, otolaryngologists, and biomedical engineers.
Infinity® is designed to the physiology of the upper esophageal sphincter and provides nearly double the lateral inflation dimension of conventional devices.
