Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de gonflage tenant dans la main, à affichage numérique, qui sert à contrôler la pression lors d'une opération d'angioplastie sur un patient au moyen d'un cathéter à ballonnet, et qui comprend un boîtier principal allongé (12) comportant un ensemble piston (26) et cylindre (28) générateur de pression, permettant par l'intermédiaire d'un capteur de pression (32) d'afficher numériquement (16) la pression, le temps écoulé ou la durée de la pression générée et le nombre de cycles de pression générée et communiquée au cathéter à ballonnet. Le panneau d'affichage numérique (16) reçoit ces informations par l'intermédiaire de son propre circuit connecté au capteur. Le panneau d'affichage (16) est incliné selon un certain angle par rapport au boîtier allongé (12) pour permettre une lecture plus facile de l'affichage et une réponse plus rapide.
