Patent

CA 2599104

Balloon catheter designs are disclosed where the as-molded distal tip portion assumes a generally non-linear configuration. The non-linear tip configuration minimizes the gap between the wall of the catheter and the guidewire when the catheter passes over the guidewire when threaded through tortuous portions of the vasculature. The edge of the tip portion may be bias-cut angled with respect to the axis of the catheter to further reduce the gap. The disclosure also describes methods to use the catheter designs.
