A parison for being blow molded into a medical balloon for a catheter includes a first tubular layer having a functional modification and a second tubular layer adapted for bonding with the first tubular layer to form the blow molded balloon. Related methods are also disclosed.

Parison for forming blow molded medical balloon with modified portion, medical balloon, and related methods

A balloon catheter for use with a guidewire includes an elongated, tubular shaft extending in a longitudinal direction, said shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. An inflatable balloon is connected to the distal end of the shaft, the balloon including a working surface. A radiopaque identifier is provided for identifying the working surface. A receiver adjacent the proximal end of the shaft is adapted for allowing the shaft to move relative to the receiver in at least the longitudinal direction.

Balloon catheter with floating hub

A parison for being blow molded into a medical balloon for a catheter includes a first tubular layer having a functional modification and a second tubular layer adapted for bonding with the first tubular layer to form the blow molded balloon. Related methods are disclosed.

A balloon catheter adapted for use with a guidewire includes an elongated, tubular shaft extending in a longitudinal direction, said shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. An inflatable balloon is supported along the distal end of the shaft, the balloon when inflated including first and second spaced ends and a working surface between the ends. An insert located within the interior compartment of the balloon includes at least a radiopaque portion separate from the shaft. Related methods are also disclosed.

Medical balloon including radiopaque insert for precisely identifying a working surface location

A flow rate control device having features for selectively controlling the flow rate of a fluid over a continuous range of flow rates is provided. In particular, a flow rate control device including an inflatable flow restrictor is provided, where the flow restrictor is selectively inflatable to occlude a flow path of a fluid to thereby control the flow rate of the fluid. A flow rate control mechanism comprising a flow restrictor also is provided, the flow restrictor having an inflatable balloon for occluding a flow path of a fluid to selectively control the flow rate of the fluid.

Variable flow rate control device

A flow selector having features for controlling the flow rate of a fluid over a continuous range of flow rates is provided. In particular, a flow selector including a flow rate selection mechanism is provided, where the flow rate selection mechanism provides more precise control of the fluid flow rate. A flow selector comprising a needle valve for controlling the flow rate of a fluid over a continuous range of flow rates also is provided.

Variable fluid flow rate control device

A medical balloon is provided for which the working surface may be identified during an interventional procedure with enhanced precision. Related methods of manufacturing such a balloon are also disclosed.
