摘要： A balloon blowing process which involves radial expansion of an extruded tubing segment which has been subjected to a stretching step prior to radial expansion, the process utilizing an internal pressure and a temperature which together cause at least a portion of the tubing to expand to an interior diameter (ID) which is greater than the interior diameter of the extruded segment prior to extrusion.
