  • Distensible dilatation balloon with elastic stress response and manufacture thereof
    Publication number: 20040097878
    Abstract: Balloons and balloon catheters with a superior overall combination of distensibility, elastic stress response and strength. The improved properties of the balloons result from the method or process used to form the balloons, as well as the polymeric materials used in said balloon forming process. Additionally, the enhanced combination of properties of the balloons will not be adversely affected by the novel sterilization process contemplated by this invention.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 11, 2003
    Publication date: May 20, 2004
    Inventors: Jere R. Anderson, Louis J. Jandris, Michael D. Barbere, Richard T. Murphy

  • Method of making a distensible dilatation balloon using a block copolymer
    Patent number: 5500180
    Abstract: Balloons and balloon catheters with a superior overall combination of distensibility, elastic stress response and strength. The improved properties of the balloons result from the method or process used to form the balloons, as well as the polymeric materials used in said balloon forming process. Additionally, the enhanced combination of properties of the balloons will not be adversely affected by the novel sterilization process contemplated by this invention. A process for forming a balloon involves providing a parison of a block copolymer, subjecting the parison to at least one axial stretch step and at least one radial expansion step, and heating the expanded parison to a temperature below the melting temperature of the block copolymer.
