[Treatment of esophageal varices bleeding with the use of transformable probes].

Construction of the original transformable esophageal probe is thoroughly described. The innovated construction suggests lesser traumatisation by insertion and spiral expansion, together with secure compression hemostasis. Unlike the traditionally used obturating Blackmore probe, the spiral transformable original construction leaves the esophageal lumen open for further endoscopic hemostatic procedures. The feature provides exclusive advantages of the original construction.
