Medical balloon assembly and method of making a medical balloon

A medical balloon 200 includes an outer layer 202 and an inner layer 204 where the outer layer 202 has a higher softening or melting temperature than the inner layer 204. The outer layer 202 has a surface texture or formation such as a scoring element 206. The inner layer 204 is made of a reflow mat...

Summary:A medical balloon 200 includes an outer layer 202 and an inner layer 204 where the outer layer 202 has a higher softening or melting temperature than the inner layer 204. The outer layer 202 has a surface texture or formation such as a scoring element 206. The inner layer 204 is made of a reflow material which during production of the balloon 200 from a raw tubing 60 will soften and flow into internal recesses in the outer layer 202, thereby filling these recesses and providing support to the outer layer formations so as to avoid flattening of these formations 206 during use of the balloon 200. The balloon 200 can be manufactured in a single formation step from a raw tubing 60 having the outer 202 and inner reflow layer 204 coextruded.
