Use of the Fogarty balloon catheter for hemostasis in vascular trauma and difficult vascular dissections requires constant balloon inflation. A syringe holder to maintain balloon inflation without requiring constant attention of an assistant has been designed. Other applications of the syringe holder are discussed, including use with endotracheal tubes, gastrointestinal tubes, and for Fogarty balloon occlusion of pulmonary segments.
