  • Method of making a catheter balloon using a heated mandrel
    Publication number: 20040061261
    Abstract: A method of making a catheter balloon or other tubular medical device or component, in which polymeric material is positioned on a mandrel, and the mandrel is heated by induction or conduction to heat the polymeric material. In one embodiment, the polymeric material is a tube heated on the mandrel to stabilize the polymeric tube. In another embodiment, a sheet of polymeric material is wrapped on the mandrel and heated thereon to fuse sections of the wrapped sheet together, to form a polymeric tube. After heating on the mandrel in accordance with the invention, the polymeric tube may be further processed before or after being removed from the mandrel, to complete the formation of the tubular medical device or medical device tubular component.

  • Catheter having a tapered distal tip and method of making
    Publication number: 20030163118
    Abstract: An intraluminal catheter comprising an elongated shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, at least one lumen, and a distal tip having an internal taper. The distal tip has an inner surface tapering distally to an inner diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the shaft proximal to the tapered distal tip. In one embodiment, the distal tip includes an outer surface tapering distally to an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the shaft proximal to the tapered distal tip. In a presently preferred embodiment, the distal tip defines at least in part a guidewire receiving lumen.
