Abstract

See full text

A method of making a balloon catheter. The method includes the steps of providing a tube having an outer surface and a plurality of lumens including first and second lumens, the tube including a first lumen access opening in the outer surface communicating with the first lumen; simultaneously coating a first portion of the outer surface with an amount of a bond preventing agent effective to prevent bonding to the first portion of the outer surface and plugging the first lumen access opening; and subsequently coating a second portion of the outer surface and the coating of bond preventing agent on the first portion of the outer surface with a polymeric bonding composition, wherein a resilient overcoat layer is created which is fixed to and integral with the tube proximate the second portion of the outer surface and free from adherence to the tube proximate the first portion of the outer surface. An alternate embodiment provides a method of mass-producing balloon catheters.
