The balloon dilatation catheter is a soft catheter with an inflatable balloon at the head end. In the non-inflatable state, the balloon catheter enters the target lesion site, and after successful treatment, the balloon can be retracted to withdraw the balloon catheter to the outside of the body.

After the woven layer is reinforced, the shape of the balloon body 4 is more stable, the flexibility is good, and the compliance can be reduced to less than 5%. The above process is a conventional process in the art, which will not be described here.

[0056] Specifically, the clamping assembly is arranged between the balloon skeleton 3 and the balloon body 4 for connecting the balloon skeleton 3 and the balloon body 4. In the embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a guide rail, a sliding block and a mesh basket 53. The guide rail is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the balloon body 4 close to the balloon skeleton 3 in the axial direction and includes a first guide rail 51 and a second guide rail 52. The first guide rail 51 extends from the distal end of the balloon body 4 to the middle part of the balloon body 4, and the second guide rail 52 extends from the proximal end of the balloon body 4 to the middle part of the balloon body 4.

[0060] More specifically, in this embodiment, the first adjusting member 6 and the second adjusting member 7 are respectively made of high-toughness hollow thin tubes of 204 stainless steel. In this embodiment, the first external thread 81 and the second external thread 82 have the same pitch. The adjusting method of the balloon dilatation catheter of this embodiment is as follows:

[0061] When the thumb pushes the thumbwheel 83 forward to rotate, the distal end of the balloon skeleton 3 moves proximally and the proximal end of the balloon skeleton 3 moves distally, and as the distance between the distal end of the balloon skeleton 3 and the proximal end of the balloon skeleton 3 decreases, the C-shaped opening of the balloon body 4 expands and the radial direction of the balloon body 4 expands.
