The present disclosure generally provides a multiple balloon assembly used as part of the distal region of a medical device that is capable of delivering a therapeutic agent into a body vessel having bodily fluid. The multiple balloon assembly comprises an inner balloon and an outer balloon. The outer balloon further comprises a proximal taper region, a middle region, and a distal taper region. The inflation of the inner balloon causes the middle region of the outer balloon to contact the inner wall of the body vessel, thereby, occluding the flow of fluid through the body vessel. The proximal taper region and the distal taper region are configured such that they do not touch the inner wall of the body vessel. One of the distal taper and proximal taper regions has a plurality of apertures configured to allow for the therapeutic agent to be delivered into the body vessel at a predetermined rate. A medical device that incorporates the multiple balloon assembly of the present disclosure, as well as a method for using the medical device and multiple balloon assembly are further disclosed. |
