Abstract
A balloon catheter for treating, preventing, or reducing the recurrence of a stricture and/or cancer, or for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in a non-vascular body lumen; the balloon catheter comprising: An elongated balloon; a coating layer overlying an exterior surface of the balloon wherein the coating layer includes one or more water-soluble additives and an initial drug load of a therapeutic agent; and a length-control mechanism () which stretches and elongates the balloon during deflation, giving the balloon a smaller cross-sectional deflated profile for tracking through the body lumen and for removal after treatment.
