The present invention discloses a shockwave
balloon dilation
catheter with
corona generator, including a dilation
balloon, an outer tube, and an inner tube. The distal end of the inner tube extends beyond the distal end of the outer tube. The proximal end of the dilation
balloon is sealed to the distal end of the outer tube, and the distal end of the dilation balloon is sealed to the distal end of the inner tube. A
corona generator is disposed within the dilation balloon, including at least one set of electrodes each including at least one first
electrode connected to a positive lead and at least one second
electrode connected to a negative lead. The first and second electrodes are spaced apart.
Discharge regions are provided on the first and second electrodes that contact the
electrolyte liquid filling the inner cavity of the dilation balloon, thereby forming an
electric field between the first and second electrodes. The first and second electrodes are fixed to the inner tube. Compared with conventional technologies, this invention improves the safety, ease of operation,
reusability, and precise control of the
balloon catheter.
