A balloon (14) of a catheter (10A) has an elastic stretchable inner layer (24) and outer layer (26). A cylindrical reticular reinforcing member (28) is arranged between the inner layer (24) and the outer layer (26). The reinforcing member (28) has a first end section (31) and a second end section (32) in the axial direction thereof, and an intermediate section (34) spanning between the first end section (31) and the second end section (32). The first end section (31) and/or the second end section (32) and the intermediate section (34) are not directly fixed with respect to the inner layer (24) and the outer layer (26). |
