Device for the application of a vessel support

摘要

The device for the application of an expandable vessel support (17) has a balloon catheter (10) enclosing a catheter tube (11). A section (13) of the balloon catheter is designed to accept the vessel support in the compressed condition. Supports (15,16) in the balloon catheter enclose the section housing the vessel support. Each of the supports is formed from a truncated cone ring whose thin end faces away from the balloon section. In the area of the balloon section, the catheter tube is covered by a balloon skin (12) which encloses the cone supports.
