Abstract
A balloon removing device is provided for removing a balloon from a body cavity through an access opening of said body cavity, in particular for removing a balloon of a radiation catheter from a body cavity left by surgical removal of cancerous or other tissue. The balloon removing device has an unstretchable elongated tool extending along a longitudinal axis and having a distal end with a distal opening, a proximal end with a proximal opening and a lumen extending from the distal opening along the longitudinal axis to the proximal opening. The dimensions of the distal opening and the lumen of the elongated tool allow the balloon to be accommodated therein in the deflated state, or the dimensions of the distal opening, the proximal opening and the lumen of the elongated tool are adapted to allow the balloon to be pulled through the lumen in the deflated state.
