GUIA DE CATETER DE MANDO A DISTANCIA.

摘要

The invention relates to a remote controlled catheter guide provided with a micro-balloon which comprises a head formed of a coil spring (4) mounted at the end of the extremity (2) of a tube (l). When pulling on a flexible traction member (7) fastened to an excentered point inside the end of the head, this head can be curved at will. The remote controlled catheter guide with micro-balloon is thus constituted of the assembly of elements forming a channel through which it is possible to locate the flexible traction member (7) as well as to feed a contrast liquid. Due to the provision of the micro-balloon (8) which is inflatable through its feeding duct (9) it is possible to carry out the pre-dilatation of stenosis so that afterwords a conventional catheter can be slid in place over the catheter-guide.
