An occlusion catheter (10) includes a catheter body and an expansion section (16) disposed at the distal end (14) of the catheter body. This section (16) is operable between a low profile state which facilitates insertion of the catheter into a body conduit (15), and a high profile state which facilitates occlusion of the body conduit (15) by the catheter (10). An elastomeric sleeve (50) disposed to be carried outwardly by the expansion section (16) forms a continuous concave surface for occluding the body conduit (15). |
