The reuse of sterilized Inoue catheters is practiced widely in developing countries to bring down the procedure cost. However, blood can enter the space between the latex layers and become embedded in the mesh layer, which is difficult to clean when sterilizing the catheters. This is a common cause of rupture. Proper meticulous inspection of reused Inoue balloons for deformity or leakage through the small holes is necessary to prevent such complications.
在发展中国家，广泛采用复用已灭菌的 Inoue 导管以降低手术成本。然而，血液可能会进入乳胶层之间的空间，并嵌入到网眼层中，在对导管进行灭菌时很难清洗干净。这是导致破裂的常见原因。对重复使用的 Inoue 球囊进行适当的仔细检查，查看是否有小孔变形或泄漏，这对于防止此类并发症是必要的。
