  • Stent delivery catheter system with high tensile strength
    Patent number: 8257420
    Abstract: A stent delivery catheter system having a reinforcing tether member secured to the catheter such that the catheter is provided with an improved combination of an enhanced tensile strength together with other catheter performance characteristics such as low profile and high flexibility. The stent delivery system includes an elongated delivery catheter including a reinforcing tether member secured to the inner tubular member of the catheter. The tether member has a distal end length extending helically from the distal tip member or proximally adjacent to the proximal end of the distal tip member of the catheter and a portion that also extends axially through the stent holder region of the catheter. This reinforcing tether member provides enhanced tensile strength to the catheter.
