AI Technical Summary
Existing balloons are not pressure-resistant enough in calcified or severely stenotic lesions, and their irregular shape after depressurization makes them difficult to retract, which may cause harm to patients.
The balloon employs alternating first and second elastic segments. The first elastic segment provides rigid support, while the second elastic segment provides elastic cushioning. When the balloon is depressurized, the second elastic segment folds and contracts to form a folded wing, ensuring a regular change in shape. The balloon is manufactured using extrusion molding, injection molding, or additive manufacturing processes.
The balloon's pressure resistance has been improved, ensuring it does not rupture under high pressure and its shape remains controllable after depressurization, facilitating retraction, reducing harm to the patient, and improving surgical safety and efficiency.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical intervention instruments, in particular to a high-pressure resistant folding balloon and a manufacturing method thereof, and a balloon dilatation catheter. BACKGROUND
[0002] When a clinician faces a calcified or severely stenotic lesion that is difficult to dilate, a balloon capable of bearing higher pressure is used to dilate the lesion. For ordinary balloons, it is difficult to dilate the lesion due to insufficient pressure, and after the pressure is increased, the ordinary balloon is difficult to maintain the state before being inflated, and the size of the balloon is irregular and larger when the balloon is retracted, which makes it difficult to retract the balloon, and the balloon cannot be retracted into the catheter sheath, causing unnecessary harm to the patient.
[0003] In related technologies, high-pressure balloons such as non-compliant PET balloons improve pressure resistance by using a single high-strength material PET, but still randomly shrink after pressure relief.
[0004] Therefore, the current balloon is difficult to dilate the blood vessel in the calcified / severely stenotic lesion due to insufficient pressure resistance, and has the defects of insufficient pressure resistance and difficulty in retraction after pressure relief: the shape of the balloon changes irregularly after pressure relief, and cannot be regularly contracted, making it difficult to retract the catheter sheath. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a high-pressure resistant folding balloon and a manufacturing method thereof, and a balloon dilatation catheter to solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a high-pressure resistant folding balloon, the balloon comprising a first elastic segment and a second elastic segment, the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment being made of an elastic polymer material; at least the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment are alternately distributed in the circumferential direction to form the tube wall of the balloon, the elastic modulus of the first elastic segment being greater than that of the second elastic segment.
[0007] When the balloon is inflated, the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment can expand and spread; when the balloon is pressure relieved and reset, the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment contract, the second elastic segment folds and contracts before the first elastic segment, and a plurality of folding wings are formed.
[0008] Beneficial effects: The tube wall of the balloon is formed by alternately distributing high-molecular materials with more than two different elastic moduli in the circumferential direction, the first elastic section provides rigid support, and the second elastic section provides elastic buffering to prevent rupture under high pressure, and cooperates with the folding process, so that the balloon as a whole can withstand higher pressure, meet the needs of expanding calcified or stenotic vascular lesions; when the balloon resets after pressure release, the second elastic section first folds and shrinks to form multiple folding wings, so that the balloon shape changes regularly and the size is controllable, the withdrawal performance is improved, the catheter sheath is easily withdrawn, and the harm caused by difficult withdrawal to the patient is avoided. The present application optimizes the stress and deformation mode of the balloon, balances the pressure resistance and withdrawal performance, and can provide more reliable interventional instruments for vascular intervention and other surgeries.

[0015] In some embodiments, the total proportion of the first elastic section in the circumferential direction is less than or equal to the total proportion of the second elastic section in the circumferential direction.
[0016] Beneficial effects: In terms of total proportion in the circumferential direction, the first elastic section is less than the second elastic section, so that the low-elasticity modulus material section has a larger proportion, and has a greater shrinking force when pressure is released to drive the high-modulus section to fold inward regularly to form more compact folding wings, which is beneficial to reducing the withdrawal diameter. In terms of total proportion in the circumferential direction, the first elastic section is equal to the second elastic section, which can make the stress distribution of the balloon more uniform during expansion and contraction, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the stability of the structure.
[0017] In some embodiments, the radial wall thickness of the second elastic segment is not less than the radial wall thickness of the first elastic segment.
[0018] Beneficial effects: the radial wall thickness of the second elastic segment is not less than the first elastic segment, which can ensure the flexibility of the low elastic modulus material segment when folded, and also has certain strength to prevent excessive deformation or damage in a high pressure environment, enhance the structural strength and durability of the balloon, and prolong the service life of the balloon; through the wall thickness design, the strength deficiency of the low elastic modulus material is compensated for, the overall structural strength is improved on the basis of maintaining good folding performance, so as to adapt to the high pressure working environment.
[0019] In some embodiments, the radial wall thickness of the first elastic segment is independently set to 0.1-1.5mm; and the radial wall thickness of the second elastic segment is independently set to 0.1-1.5mm.
[0020] Beneficial effects: setting the wall thickness of the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment in the range of 0.1-1.5mm helps to accurately control the pressure resistance, flexibility and folding performance of the balloon, so that it better matches the clinical use requirements, and at the same time facilitates the production process to be realized.
[0021] In some embodiments, at least one of the surfaces of the first elastic segment is provided with a functional area, and the functional area is used to carry a cutting element or a drug coating.
[0022] Beneficial effects: the functional area on the surface of the first elastic segment can be used to carry a cutting element to assist in treating complex lesions such as vascular calcification, or to coat a drug coating to achieve local drug release and prevent complications such as vascular restenosis, thereby increasing the clinical application value of the product.

Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application.

[0049] The balloon in the related art has the defects of insufficient pressure resistance and difficulty in withdrawing after pressure relief in calcification / severe stenosis lesions, and is difficult to expand the blood vessel due to insufficient pressure resistance. After the balloon is relieved, the shape changes irregularly, cannot be regularly contracted, and the catheter sheath is difficult to withdraw.
[0050] The present application aims to provide a balloon and a balloon dilatation catheter with both pressure resistance and retraction performance to solve the problems of insufficient pressure resistance and difficult retraction.
[0051] Embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with Figures 1 to 9
[0052] According to an embodiment of the present application, in a first aspect, a high-pressure resistant folding balloon is provided, which is adapted to deform adaptively under a filling pressure and to return to its original shape after the filling pressure is removed.
[0053] In the embodiment, the balloon comprises a first elastic segment and a second elastic segment, both of which are made of an elastic polymer material; the tube wall of the balloon is formed by the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment being alternately distributed in the circumferential direction; and the elastic modulus of the first elastic segment is greater than that of the second elastic segment.
[0054] When the balloon 103 is filled, the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment can expand and spread out; and when the balloon 103 is deflated, the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment contract, the second elastic segment folds and contracts first, and a plurality of folding wings are formed.
[0055] The high-pressure resistant folding balloon provided in the embodiment is formed by more than two polymer materials with different elastic moduli being alternately distributed in the circumferential direction, the first elastic segment provides rigid support, and the second elastic segment provides elastic buffering to prevent rupture under high pressure, and the folding process is coordinated, so that the balloon 103 as a whole can withstand higher pressure and meet the needs of expanding calcified or stenotic blood vessels; when the balloon 103 is deflated, the second elastic segment folds and contracts first to form a plurality of folding wings, so that the shape of the balloon 103 changes regularly and the size is controllable, the retraction performance is improved, the catheter sheath is easily withdrawn, and the harm caused by difficult retraction to the patient is avoided.
[0056] The present application optimizes the stress and deformation mode of the balloon 103, and takes into account the pressure resistance and retraction performance, so as to provide more reliable interventional instruments for vascular intervention and other operations.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the total proportion of the first elastic segment in the circumferential direction is independently set to 10%-90%; the total proportion of the second elastic segment in the circumferential direction is independently set to 10%-90%; the difference between the elastic moduli of the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment is greater than or equal to 200MPa; and the elongation at break of the first elastic segment and / or the second elastic segment is greater than 200%.
[0058] In a specific embodiment, the elastic modulus of the first elastic segment is greater than or equal to 500MPa, and the elastic modulus of the second elastic segment is less than or equal to 300MPa.
[0059] The first elastic section is a high-elasticity modulus material, such as polyamide (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which ensures that the balloon 103 has sufficient pressure resistance to cope with calcified lesions or narrow locations; the second elastic section is a low-elasticity modulus material, such as polyether block amide (Pebax), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which ensures that the balloon 103 has sufficient flexibility and fatigue resistance to facilitate smooth folding and contraction.
[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the balloon 103 includes a first support section 201, a first folding section 202, a second support section 203, a second folding section 204, a third support section 205, and a third folding section 206 connected in sequence in the circumferential direction; the first support section 201, the second support section 203, and the third support section 205 are made of the same high-molecular material, and the first folding section 202, the second folding section 204, and the third folding section 206 are made of the same high-molecular material; the first support section 201, the second support section 203, and the third support section 205 are all first elastic sections, serving as the main framework part of the balloon 103, and the first folding section 202, the second folding section 204, and the third folding section 206 are all second elastic sections, serving as the flexible part of the balloon 103 that can form folding wings. Under the same conditions, when the balloon 103 is reset after pressure relief, the first folding section 202, the second folding section 204, and the third folding section 206 will fold and contract before the first support section 201, the second support section 203, and the third support section 205 due to the difference in flexibility under the action of negative pressure, achieving the effect of regular automatic folding.
[0061] In a specific embodiment, according to the different number of folding sections, the folding wings formed after the balloon is pressure relieved are arranged in three, four, or more.
[0062] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the balloon 103 includes a first connecting section 301, a second connecting section 302, a third connecting section 303, a fourth connecting section 304, a fifth connecting section 305, and a sixth connecting section 306 connected in sequence in the circumferential direction; the first connecting section 301, the third connecting section 303, and the fifth connecting section 305 are made of polyamide (PA), and the second connecting section 302, the fourth connecting section 304, and the sixth connecting section 306 are made of polyether block amide (Pebax); the first to sixth connecting sections 306 can have the same circumferential proportion, i.e., the balloon 103 is equally divided into six parts in the circumferential direction; by alternating the use of different materials, the elastic modulus difference between adjacent connecting sections is utilized to improve the pressure resistance of the balloon.
[0063] In some embodiments, the circumferential total proportion of the first elastic segment is equal to the circumferential total proportion of the second elastic segment. In terms of the circumferential total proportion, the first elastic segment is equal to the second elastic segment, which can make the balloon 103 have a more uniform stress distribution during expansion and contraction, reduce local stress concentration, and improve structural stability.
[0064] In some embodiments, the circumferential total proportion of the first elastic segment is less than the circumferential total proportion of the second elastic segment. In terms of the circumferential total proportion, the first elastic segment is less than the second elastic segment, which makes the proportion of the low elastic modulus material segment larger, and can have a greater contraction force when pressure is released, to drive the high modulus segment to fold inward regularly, forming a more compact folded wing, which is beneficial to reducing the retraction diameter.
[0065] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the balloon 103 includes a first combined segment 401, a second combined segment 402, a third combined segment 403, a fourth combined segment 404, a fifth combined segment 405, and a sixth combined segment 406 in sequence along the circumference; there are two or more polymer materials in the six combined segments, and the proportion of each combined segment can be different; for example, the first combined segment 401, the third combined segment 403, and the fifth combined segment 405 are all first elastic segments, and a high elastic modulus polymer material such as polydodecanolactam (PA12) is selected, and the second combined segment 402, the fourth combined segment 404, and the sixth combined segment 406 are all second elastic segments, and a low elastic modulus polymer material such as polyether block amide (Pebax) is selected.
[0066] In a specific embodiment, the circumferential total proportion of the first combined segment 401, the third combined segment 403, and the fifth combined segment 405 is 10%, and the proportion of each segment can be different; the circumferential total proportion of the second combined segment 402, the fourth combined segment 404, and the sixth combined segment 406 is 90%, and the proportion of each segment can be different.
[0067] In some embodiments, a functional area is provided on the surface of the first elastic segment, and the functional area is used to carry cutting elements or drug coatings. The functional area provided on the surface of the first elastic segment can be used to carry cutting elements to assist in treating complex lesions such as vascular calcification, or to coat drug coatings to achieve local drug release and prevent complications such as vascular restenosis, thereby increasing the clinical application value of the product. Among them, the functional area is a surface modification of the first elastic segment, and the cutting elements added can be blades, needles, etc., forming a cutting balloon; adding a drug coating can form a drug balloon.
[0068] In some embodiments, the radial wall thickness of the second elastic section is not less than the radial wall thickness of the first elastic section. The radial wall thickness of the second elastic section is not less than the first elastic section, which can ensure the flexibility of the low elastic modulus material section when folded, and also has a certain strength to prevent excessive deformation or damage in a high pressure environment, enhance the structural strength and durability of the balloon 103, and prolong the service life of the balloon 103; through the wall thickness design, the low elastic modulus material is compensated for the lack of strength, and the overall structural strength is improved on the basis of maintaining good folding performance, so as to adapt to the high pressure working environment.
[0069] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 8 With Figure 9 , the balloon 103 includes a first connecting section 501, a second connecting section 502, a third connecting section 503, a fourth connecting section 504, a fifth connecting section 505 and a sixth connecting section 506 connected in sequence in the circumferential direction. The six connecting sections can be made into blocks with different thicknesses by injection molding or 3D printing process, and the wall thickness of the balloon after being formed is also regularly different. When the balloon is under negative pressure, the position with thin wall thickness will contract first than the position with thick wall thickness, which can also form an automatic folding effect.
[0070] In some embodiments, the radial wall thickness of the first elastic section is independently set to 0.1-1.5mm; the radial wall thickness of the second elastic section is independently set to 0.1-1.5mm.
[0071] Setting the wall thickness of the first elastic section and the second elastic section in the range of 0.1-1.5mm can help to accurately control the pressure resistance, flexibility and folding performance of the balloon 103, so that it can better match the clinical use requirements, and at the same time facilitate the production process to be realized.
[0072] In further embodiments, the balloon further includes a third elastic section, the tube wall of the balloon is formed by the first elastic section, the second elastic section and the third elastic section alternately distributed in the circumferential direction, and the elastic modulus of the third elastic section is less than the elastic modulus of the second elastic section; when the balloon 103 is reset after pressure relief, all the elastic sections contract, the third elastic section folds and contracts first, and the second elastic section folds and contracts first. Of course, the balloon can also include more elastic sections with different elastic moduli.

Wherein, the inner lumen tube 101 and the outer lumen tube 102 form a filling channel communicating with the inner cavity of the balloon 103.
[0077] The balloon 103 is assembled with the inner lumen tube 101 and the outer lumen tube 102 to form a balloon dilatation catheter, which forms a complete interventional instrument, is convenient for doctors to operate and use, and improves the operation efficiency and safety.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the balloon 103 is folded and reset, the second elastic section is contracted before the first elastic section, and the withdrawal diameter of the folded balloon 103 is 0.5-3.0mm.
