CATHETER DUCT AND METHOD FOR BLEEDING IT

摘要

The invention relates to a duct for feeding the inflation fluid to a balloon in a catheter for endoluminal interventions. The duct comprises a tubular body, at the distal end of which there are inflation and deflation apertures in communication with the balloon. At the proximal end of the tubular body there are a non-return valve and reconfigurable means for arranging alternatively the opening or closure. The first of the lumina is in communication with the non-return valve and with the inflation aperture, while the second of the lumina is in communication with said deflation aperture and with said reconfigurable means. The invention also relates to a method for bleeding such a duct.
