A balloon catheter system has a balloon extending in an axial direction and surrounding a balloon interior. The balloon has an outer side facing away from the balloon interior. A catheter is connected to the balloon and extending in the axial direction, the catheter having a lumen in fluid communication with the balloon interior. First and second annular electrodes are disposed on the outer side, each extending in a circumferential direction of the balloon and being located opposite one another in the axial direction. The electrodes are configured to measure one of more of strain of the balloon in the circumferential direction, strain of the balloon in the radial direction, an impedance of tissue of a patient resting against the electrodes, and a redox potential of tissue of the patient contacting at least one of the electrodes.

Multifunctional use of an electrode structure of a balloon catheter system

A method for producing x-ray markers. During the process, a predetermined breaking point is severed in order to detach x-ray markers from part of a material layer. There is also described an x-ray marker, a medical implant, and a semifinished product.

X-ray markers for scaffolds

A method for producing a balloon for a balloon catheter includes providing the balloon that has an outer surface. A solution including a solvent and a polymer is used to deposit the polymer onto the surface and form a surface coating of the polymer.
