A balloon catheter is a type of soft catheter with an inflatable balloon at its tip which is used during a catheterization procedure to enlarge a narrow opening or passage within the body . The deflated balloon catheter is positioned, then inflated to perform the necessary procedure, and deflated again in order to be removed. Some common uses include angioplasty or balloon septostomy , via cardiac catheterization heart cath tuboplasty via uterus uterine catheterization Angioplasty balloon catheters Balloon catheters used in angioplasty are either of Over the Wire OTW or Rapid Exchange Rx design. When a balloon catheter is used to compress plaque within a clogged coronary artery it is referred to as a plain old balloon angioplasty or POBA. Balloon catheters are also utilized in the deployment of stents during angioplasty . Balloon catheters are supplied to the cath lab with a stent premounted on the balloon. When the cardiologist inflates the balloon it expands the stent. When the cardiologist subsequently deflates the balloon the stent stays behind in the artery and the balloon catheter can be removed. Stents that are used in conjunction with a balloon catheter are known as balloon expandable stents.

The principle behind the ceiling balloon is a balloon with a known ascent rate how fast it climbs and determining how long the balloon rises until it disappears into the cloud. Ascent rates yield the ceiling height. How it is used A ceiling balloon is a small, usually red, fluted rubber balloon commonly measuring 76 mm 3 in across prior to inflation, inflated to 40 cm diameter. After inflation the balloon is taken outside and released. By timing the balloon from release until it enters the cloud a ceiling height can be obtained. When correctly inflated the balloon will rise at rate of 140 m min 460 ft min . The bases of clouds are very rarely flat and solid, so the ceiling height is not when the balloon disappears but when the colour begins to fade. The balloon can also be used to measure the vertical visibility into a layer of fog or blizzard blowing snow . In this case the balloon will begin to fade as soon as it is released, so the vertical visibility is when the balloon disappears. If the balloon is visible for a considerable .... The ceiling balloon is a reliable, safe and simple way to get an indication of the height of clouds ... snow may slow the ascent of the balloon, giving a falsely high ceiling and high winds and poor visibility may cause the balloon to appear to enter the cloud before it actually does. As the balloon rises at a rate of 140 m min 460 ft min it will take over five minutes for the balloon to reach 700 m 2300 ft . Beyond this height the ability to follow the balloon, even with binoculars, is poor, as even the slightest movement of the eye off the balloon will almost certainly ensure that it vanishes ... more details

This may be done for fun, to create a photo opportunity to raise awareness of a cause or campaign, or as a competitive race. Balloon races A balloon race or balloon flight contest is a competition wherein the competitors attempt to send balloons as far as possible. Postcard s are attached to the balloons which are then released. The flight of the balloons cannot be influenced by the competitors. Instead, success in the contest is dependent on the wind conditions and on the location in which the balloon lands. The contest depends on the goodwill of passers by to find the balloons and return the postcards. A prize may be awarded to the person whose balloon travels the furthest.

They are usually though not always unmanned, filled with a lighter than air gas like helium , and fly at high altitude balloon high altitudes . Meteorology, atmospheric research, astronomy, and military research may be conducted from a research balloon. Weather balloon s are a type of research balloon. Research balloons usually study a single aspect of science, such as air pollution, air temperature, or wind currents, although sometimes several experiments or equipment are flown together. Image Malcolm Ross AHM USNO19570507 212.png thumb right Malcolm Ross balloonist Malcolm Ross piloting a research balloon down from the stratosphere Other than weather balloons, few research balloons are launched every year. This is driven by the large cost of the balloon, the instrument, which is usually custom made, and the cost of the launch. Because of the altitude reached by most research balloons, the air is too thin and too cold for humans to survive, therefore most research balloons are unmanned and operated remotely. There have been some balloons equipped with pressurized cabins, beginning with professor Auguste Piccard in the 1930s. Research balloons are not only used on earth.
