  • Device for controlling the inflation of a balloon catheter
    Patent number: 5364358
    Abstract: A device for controlling the inflation of a balloon catheter includes a variable volume chamber and an actuator to expel air from the chamber. Movement of the actuator is inhibited by a releasable latch to prevent unintentional inflation of the catheter. An adjustable abutment limits movement of the actuator after the latch is released to prevent overinflation of the balloon.
