A balloon catheter suitable for longer vascular lesions

By designing a balloon catheter suitable for longer vascular lesions, adopting a first balloon and a second balloon structure with a proximal end larger than a distal end, combined with a sliding ring and a sealing connecting membrane, the problem that balloon catheters in the existing technology are difficult to adapt to changes in blood vessel diameter is solved, and better fitting and surgical effects are achieved.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing balloon catheters have difficulty adapting to the difference in diameter between the proximal and distal ends of the blood vessels when treating longer vascular lesions, resulting in the proximal end expanding to the required size and the distal end over-expanding or expanding to the required size, which can easily lead to vascular damage or restenosis.

Method used

A balloon catheter is designed, comprising a first balloon whose proximal diameter is larger than the distal diameter and a second balloon coated thereon. By providing a penetrating inner cavity and a connecting channel, and utilizing a sliding ring and a sealing connecting membrane, the first and second balloons can achieve coordinated expansion and deformation to adapt to changes in blood vessel diameter.

Benefits of technology

It improves the fit between the balloon and the blood vessels, reduces the risk of blood vessel damage, and improves the success rate and safety of the operation.

Abstract

The present invention provides a balloon catheter suitable for treating long vascular lesions, relating to the field of medical device technology. The catheter comprises a catheter body; a first balloon disposed at the distal end of the catheter body; wherein the proximal diameter of the first balloon is larger than the distal diameter; a through-entry lumen is disposed in the middle of the catheter body; and a communication channel is formed on the sidewall of the catheter body, connecting the first balloon and the lumen. The present invention provides a first balloon and a second balloon. When the first balloon is inflated, it squeezes the second balloon, gradually squeezing out the contrast agent in the second balloon and deforming the second balloon. The deformed second balloon better fits the narrowed blood vessel and is more adaptable to changes in the inner diameter of the channel in the long blood vessel.
