    摘要: A multilayer high strength balloon for a dilation catheter is provided. The balloon comprises a plurality of balloon layers, including an inner layer which has a cylindrical midportion, a cone at each end, and necks at the ends of the cones, and at least one additional layers which have the cylindrical midportions and cones. Each layer is formed from an inelastic, polymeric material, and perhaps an inelastic, biaxially oriented, thermoplastic material. Preferably, one or more of the balloon layers is blow molded and stretched to biaxially orient the material to form a very high strength layer. The multilayer balloon resulting from the plurality of balloon layers, of which one or more has been biaxially oriented, is stronger than a single layer balloon of the same finished diameter which has been made from the same material with comparable thickness. The composite high strength balloon may be formed to eliminate undesirable thickening of the cone regions of conventional blow molded balloon designs by stepping the cone regions so that they are not substantially greater than the wall thickness in the midportion of the balloon. The resulting balloon is better adapted to collapse to a low profile about the catheter shaft on which it is mounted.

    摘要: An adjustable-length balloon dilatation catheter apparatus and a method for using the same are disclosed wherein an adjustable sheath is externally manipulated to partially surround and contain the dilatation balloon segment of the catheter while the catheter and balloon segment are in situ during a treatment procedure. By sliding the sheath forward or backward to expose a predetermined length of the balloon segment prior to inflating the balloon, the catheter apparatus of this invention is useful in medical procedures requiring balloons of varying lengths.
