Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a balloon catheter assembly includes forming a balloon from a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyether block amide, and polyethylene terephthalate, forming a plurality of pores in the polymer, and mounting the balloon onto a catheter shaft. The shaft is configured to supply a fluid to the balloon to inflate the balloon, and the pores are configured to prevent the fluid from passing through the balloon.
