  • BALLOON CATHETER WITH STENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING IT
    Publication number: 20180228631
    Abstract: The invention relates to a balloon catheter comprising a catheter tube, an inflatable balloon, the ends of which are attached to the catheter tube, and a stent attached around the balloon. The stent extends at least partly along the length of the balloon. In an uninflated state, at least the outside surface of the balloon not covered by the stent is provided with a relief structure which is substantially disappeared in an inflated state of the balloon. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a balloon catheter.

  • Balloon catheter and method for manufacturing it
    Patent number: 9821148
    Abstract: A balloon catheter includes a catheter tube and an inflatable balloon. The ends of the balloon are attached to the catheter tube. The outside surface of the balloon in an uninflated state is provided with a relief structure which in an inflated state of the balloon is substantially disappeared. A method for producing such a relief structure is by winding a wire helically around the outer surface of the balloon.

  • Balloon catheter
    Publication number: 20030125761
    Abstract: A balloon (60) is attached to a catheter tube (62). A stiffening wire (64) extends from the catheter tube (62) to a tip (66). A lumen (70) is provided at the end of a flexible tube that at its opposite end is attached to the catheter tube (62). When the balloon (60) is deflated, the tube (72) is straight. When the balloon (60) is inflated, the tube (72) bends around the balloon (60).
