TLDR
An integral, single-piece, high-strength, thin-walled, inflatable catheter is described in this paper, which has one end partially or entirely closed, and is at least uniaxially oriented along its entire length.Abstract:
An integral, single-piece, high-strength, thin-walled, inflatable catheter is disclosed. The catheter has one end partially or entirely closed, and is at least uniaxially oriented along its entire length. The method and apparatus for making the catheter is also disclosed. The catheters of this invention have a calculated radial tensile strength of about 10,000 psi or greater at every point along the catheter.read more
