Patent

CA 2213916

The invention is directed to a rapid exchange-type intravascular catheter suitable for maintaining patency of a body lumen for a period of time sufficient to permit delivery of a radiation source to the body lumen. The catheter utilized a reinforcing mandrel to improve the pushability and strength of the catheter as it tracks along a guide wire, and permits blood flow through an inflatable member while radiation therapy is being provided.

Cathéter intravasculaire de type échange rapide capable de maintenir assez longtemps la perméabilité de la lumière d'un corps pour permettre d'y libérer une source de rayonnement. Le cathéter est muni d'un mandrin de renforcement qui en facilite l'insertion et en améliore la résistance à mesure qu'il est introduit le long du fil guide, et permet au sang de circuler par un membre gonflable pendant la radiothérapie.
