Abstract
Balloon guide catheter with a balloon bonded thereto maximizing bonding strength and integrity while minimizing outer profile. Reflow jacket(s) is melted to/embedded within a braid supporting structure of the catheter securing beneath the balloon. Radially arranged apertures and/or recesses may be defined in the balloon through which adhesive is seepable upwards when secured about the catheter shaft. Proximal and distal bond interface areas of the balloon may be skived at right angles into two sections each extending radially 180°. Proximal and/or distal edges of the balloon may be flipped inwards prior to securing to the catheter shaft to form respective proximal and/or inverted bonds. During prepping of the catheter, residual air may be purged from the balloon via an exhaust hole defined in the compliant balloon or an exhaust tube secured between the exterior surface of the catheter shaft and the balloon.
