개선된 카테터가 개시된다. 카테터는 팽창 내강의 수축 및 붕괴를 방지하기 위해 코일과 같은 금속 지지부를 통해 보강된 팽창 내강을 갖고, 그것은 카테터의 크기에 최소한의 영향을 남긴다. 카테터는 제조 프로세스 도중에 카테터에 온도 센싱 스트립을 영구적으로 통합하여 제조될 수 있다. 온소 센싱 스트립은 환자의 온도와 관련된 정보를 외부 디스플레이에 무선으로 전송할 수 있고, 그것은 케어(care) 제공자가 볼 수 있도록 할 수 있다. 또한, 카테터의 배수 내강은 트리트먼트 또는 소수성 코팅을 구비하고, 그리고/및 초 소수성 패턴화된 표면과 같은, 마이크로구조 표면 디자인 패턴을 포함하도록 형성되는 것이 선호된다. An improved catheter is described. The catheter may have an inflation lumen reinforced with a metal support, such as a coil, to prevent collapse and deflation of the inflation lumen, while leaving a minimal impact on the size of the catheter. The catheter may be manufactured with a temperature sensing strip permanently integrated into the catheter during the manufacturing process. The temperature sensing strip is able to wirelessly send information regarding a patient's temperature to an external display, where it may be available for viewing by a care provider. Additionally, the drainage lumen of the catheter is preferably coated with a hydrophobic coating or treatment, and/or formed to include a patterned microstructure surface design, such as superhydrophobic patterned surface.
