Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of hypotubes, in particular to a hypotube which is convenient for drug delivery. Background Art

[0002] At present, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is the most common interventional surgical procedure in clinical practice. When doctors perform PTCA, they use a coronary balloon dilatation catheter to send it to the stenosis of the coronary artery through a peripheral artery (femoral artery or radial artery). The filled balloon can expand the narrow lumen, improve blood flow, and place a stent in the expanded stenosis to prevent restenosis.

[0003] In the related art, the balloon dilatation catheter usually includes a hypotube, a tube seat, an outer tube, an inner tube and a balloon. The doctor holds the tube seat and pushes the balloon to the vascular lesion. The hypotube provides a good driving force for the outer tube, the inner tube and the balloon. The hypotube is made of metal. However, when passing through a complex and curved blood vessel, it is difficult to pass because the hypotube made of metal is difficult to bend.
