Abstract: To provide a new balloon catheter enabling formation of, with high dimensional accuracy and excellent shape adaptability with respect to a balloon, an additional structure such as a blade and a reinforcement member to be additionally provided to the balloon. In this balloon catheter 10 provided with an expandable/contractible balloon 14 on the distal end side of a catheter 12, an additional structure 36 having a prescribed pattern is formed through electroforming or the like directly onto an inner circumferential surface 34 and/or an outer circumferential surface 82 of the balloon 14.

Abstract: Provided is a new balloon catheter enabling formation of, with high dimensional accuracy and excellent shape adaptability with respect to a balloon, an additional structure such as a blade and/or a reinforcement member on the balloon. The balloon catheter includes a shaft and an expandable/contractible balloon on the distal end side of the shaft, with an additional structure having a prescribed pattern being formed through electroforming or the like directly onto an inner circumferential surface and/or an outer circumferential surface of the balloon.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a polypropylene polymer film superior in convenience in handling that does not generate troubles such as wrinkling, elongation or breakage during processing at a high temperature of 80° C. to 120° C., independently of the conveying method used in the drying step, and an adhesive film having the polypropylene polymer film as its carrier. Provided are a polypropylene polymer film, characterized by having a tensile modulus of 300 MPa to 1,000 MPa under an atmosphere at 23° C. and 60 MPa to 120 MPa under an atmosphere at 120° C. and an adhesive film containing it as the carrier.
