Assignee:

Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. - Maple Grove MN

International Classification:

A61B 18/18
A61M 29/00

US Classification:

606 21, 60410101, 60410102

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a catheter can include assembling an inner balloon within a separate outer balloon. The inner and outer balloons can each be open on opposing longitudinal ends and have a central radially expandable portion, and proximal and distal reduced diameter portions on opposite longitudinal end portions of the balloon. The method can further include bonding a portion of an inner surface of the outer balloon proximal reduced diameter portion to a portion of an outer surface of the inner balloon proximal reduced diameter portion and bonding a distal end portion of an elongate catheter shaft to a proximal portion of the bonded inner and outer balloons.

International Classification:

A61M 532

US Classification:

604 96

Abstract:

A drug delivery catheter which may be inserted into a vessel, such as a blood vessel is disclosed. The drug delivery catheter comprises any elongated tubular member which has a proximal end and a distal end. A drug lumen which provides a communication path for fluid is provided in the elongated tubular member for delivering a fluid, such as the drug to be administered. An inflatable balloon assembly is provided at the distal end of the elongated tubular member. The balloon assembly includes apertures which communicate with the drug lumen. The balloon assembly comprises a tubular balloon which is helically wound through the elongated tubular member and a sheath. The sheath is attached to the helically wound tubular balloon such that when the balloon member is uninflated, the first fluid in the vessel flows around the balloon assembly and such that when the balloon member is inflated, sections of the helically wound balloon contact the vessel wall to form a containment pocket between the vessel wall, the contacting sections of the balloon and the sheath. The apertures are provided in the containment pocket. An inflatable lumen is defined through the interior of the helically wound balloon and the sheath to allow perfusion of the first fluid.
