The main purpose of the Balloon Tubing is to serve as the core component of the balloon dilatation catheter (referred to as the balloon), which is used for a variety of interventional treatments in the medical field. Specifically, the Balloon Tubing plays an important role in the following aspects:
Angioplasty: The Balloon Tubing is widely used in angioplasty, especially in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). By delivering the balloon into the narrowed blood vessels or coronary arteries, injecting liquid to expand the balloon, the blood vessels are expanded and blood flow is restored.
Stent delivery and expansion: In addition to the traditional vascular expansion function, the Balloon Tubing is also used for the delivery and expansion of drug-eluting stents. Before the stent is implanted, the balloon can be pre-expanded, and after the stent is implanted, the balloon can also be used for precise shaping to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the stent.
Endoscopic examination and treatment: During endoscopic examination, the Balloon Tubing can be used to assist in diagnosis and treatment. For example, during gastroscopy, the doctor may use a balloon to expand the narrow part of the esophagus to better observe the lesion. In addition, the balloon can also be used to remove foreign bodies or perform hemostasis operations.
Drug delivery: Balloon catheters also have important applications in drug delivery catheters. The balloon surface of this catheter has micropores, through which drugs can be released at the site of the disease, thereby reducing the amount of medication and avoiding damage to the normal body.
Blocking blood vessels: Blocking balloon catheters are a special medical device that is mainly used for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases. The balloon is delivered to the lesion through the catheter, and the expansion and contraction of the balloon is controlled by inflation and deflation to achieve temporary or permanent blockage of the blood vessels.
Other interventional treatments: Balloon catheters are also widely used in cardiac catheterization, vascular interventional treatment, biliary drainage and other fields. Its design enables it to move flexibly within the blood vessel and expand or contract when needed to achieve the purpose of treatment.
What are the advantages of the mechanical properties of balloon catheters?
The mechanical properties of balloon catheters have the following advantages:
High tensile strength and elasticity: The ability of balloon catheters to withstand internal pressure, adapt to the complex structure of blood vessels, and maintain their shape during inflation and deflation.
Excellent burst pressure resistance: The Balloon Tubing material can withstand high internal pressure without rupture, which is critical for procedures that require expansion to compress or remove body obstructions.
Good flexibility and kink resistance: These properties ensure that the balloon is safely and accurately positioned in the vascular system, avoiding damage to the vessel wall, while maintaining its shape during inflation and deflation.
High compliance and diameter control: Compliance allows the balloon to adapt to changes in the size of the blood vessel, while diameter control ensures that the balloon does not over-expand after inflation, thereby avoiding damage to the blood vessel.
Fatigue resistance and durability: The Balloon Tubing remains stable during repeated inflation and deflation cycles, avoiding material degradation or crack formation, thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
High dimensional accuracy and concentricity: The minimum outer diameter of the Balloon Tubing can reach 0.254 mm, the inner and outer diameter tolerance is ±0.0127 mm, and the concentricity exceeds 95%, ensuring its stability and reliability in use.
High burst and fatigue strength: The Balloon Tubing has extremely high resistance to burst pressure and fatigue strength, allowing it to work for a long time in a high-pressure environment without failure.
Good surface smoothness and transparency: The Balloon Tubing has smooth inner and outer surfaces and high transparency, which helps reduce friction and facilitates observation.
High temperature resistance: The Balloon Tubing can maintain excellent mechanical properties in a high temperature environment and is suitable for a variety of medical devices.
Multi-layer structure design: The Balloon Tubing can adopt a double-layer or triple-layer structure to improve its pressure resistance and fatigue resistance.
