An autoinflating catheter and balloon assembly having an autoregulating structure to prevent overinflation of the balloon as a result of variable fluid flow rates through the catheter lumen. A tight-fitting elastomeric balloon is provided on the distal end of the catheter body, and the assembly is constructed so that at least a portion of the fluid flow through the lumen is directed to the balloon to inflate it. As the balloon is inflated, more and more of the fluid flow through the catheter is discharged from the catheter, thereby preventing overinflation of the balloon.
Ensemble cathéter et ballonnet à gonflage automatique, pourvu d'une stucture d'autorégulation qui empêche le surgonflage du ballonn et résultant des débits de fluide variables dans le passage du cathéter. Un ballonnet en élastomère ajusté serré est placé sur l'extrémité distale du corps du cathéter et l'ensemble est conçu de manière à ce qu'au moins une partie de l'écoulement de fluide dans le passage se dirige vers le ballonnet pour le gonfler. Lorsque le ballonnet est gonflé, une partie de plus en plus importante de l'écoulement de fluide dans le cathéter est évacuée de ce dernier, ce qui empêche le surgonflage du ballonnet.
