  • Patent number: 5108413
    Abstract: A dilator is disclosed for use in opening the lumen of a tubular organ utilizing a expansion member made of a material having a negative Poisson ratio such as polytetrafluorethylene. The negative Poisson ratio of the expansion member enables the member, when stretched, to expand radially outwardly rather than thinning in a radial direction to perform useful work in opening the lumen in a tubular organ such as in performing coronary angioplasty.
