Abstract: An example catheter tube includes an inner conduit and a reinforcement structure. The reinforcement structure includes a coiled wire surrounding the inner conduit and a braided wire assembly surrounding the coiled wire. The reinforcement structure is configured to cause the inner conduit to resist radial deformation as a medical device is moved through the inner conduit. An example medical intervention system includes the example catheter and an example medical device that can be deployed and implanted using the catheter. An example method of performing a medical intervention includes moving the medical device through the inner conduit of the catheter tube, and, while the medical device is moving through the inner conduit, causing the inner conduit to resist radial deformation with the reinforcement structure of the catheter tube.

Abstract: A balloon catheter is described with features to reduce balloon stickiness thereby ensuring a more even inflation profile. In some embodiments, a balloon guide catheter is described which includes a conduit or passage for additional catheters or devices.

Abstract: Catheters and uses of same are described. The catheter may be an aspiration or distal access catheter used to treat stroke or other neurovascular conditions and may include a proximal segment and a distal segment with fixed shapes and outer diameters, and a distensible segment that is located proximal to the distal segment and adjacent to the catheter distal end and that is configured to undergo a conformation change when the catheter open distal end is lodged against the wall of a human blood vessel and a surgeon is attempting to move the catheter distally through the human blood vessel. The catheter may include a wall that is comprised of an inner tube surrounding the catheter's hollow interior, a coil surrounding the inner tube, a braid surrounding the coil and/or an outer tube surrounding the braid.
