Merit Medical

The Merit basixTAU™ Inflation Device is a 20mL disposable device fitted with a threaded plunger assembly with lock/ release bar, a flexible high-pressure extension tube, and a three-way medium pressure stopcock. The basixTAU is designed to generate positive and negative pressure, and monitor positive pressures over a range of zero to +30ATM/BAR (zero to +441 PSI). The basixTAU has an added “fold-out” handle feature designed to provide a secondary mechanism for turning the handle during inflation and deflation of angioplasty balloons or other interventional devices.

Features and Benefits

The basixTAU™ provides the quality and reliability known to Merit inflation devices and includes a revolutionary design of an added fold-out handle reducing the rotational force by 67% during inflations.


  • Easy-to-read luminescent analog display for low-light procedures. A maximum pressure of 30 ATM gauge.
  • 20mL device capable of producing a maximum pressure of 30 ATM
  • Fold-out handle feature brings versatility, ease of use, and additional ergonomic benefits

Use Case Examples

This inflation device is used to inflate and deflate an angioplasty balloon or other interventional device, and to measure the pressure within the balloon.

Safety informations

For single patient use only. Do not reuse, reprocess or re-sterilize. Reuse, reprocessing or re-sterilization may compromise the integrity of the device and/or lead to device failure which, in turn, may result in patient injury, illness or death. Reuse, reprocessing or re-sterilization may also create a risk of contamination of the device and/ or cause patient infection or cross-infection, including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious disease(s) from one patient to another. Contamination of the device may lead to injury, illness or death of the patient.
