A balloon catheter. The balloon is of a composite material having the flexibility and elastic characteristics of an elastomeric material, yet exhibiting the growth limits of inelastic materials. The balloon may be provided in various shapes. The balloon may be treated to maintain a substantially constant length during inflation and deflation. The balloon may be provided with regions of porosity for the delivery of therapeutic agents, and may be treated to exhibit regions of distinct compliance. Also disclosed is an apparatus, which may be used to impart the regions of distinct compliance into the balloon.

L'invention concerne un cathéter à ballonnet, dont le ballonnet est en un matériau composite présentant les caractéristiques de souplesse et d'élasticité d'un matériau élastomère, tout en présentant toutefois des limites de croissance de matériaux non élastiques. Le ballonnet peut présenter des formes diverses. Il peut être traité de manière à conserver une longueur sensiblement constante durant le gonflage et le dégonflage. Le ballonnet peut présenter des zones de porosité pour l'administration d'agents thérapeutiques et peut être traité de manière à présenter des zones d'adaptation distincte. L'invention concerne également un appareil pouvant être utilisé pour impartir des zones d'adaptation distincte dans le ballonnet.
