<p>Balloon for use in an endoscope for inspecting, diagnosing and curing the interior of a blood vessel and other tracts and organs, particularly a balloon suitable for laser beam therapy, and a method of producing the balloon. The balloon is made of a thin rubber member and an inflation portion is formed integrally at the tip of a fixed portion to form a transparent thin film main body, and the fixed portion is fitted to the tip of the endoscope so as to protect a light guide, an objective lens, an optical fiber, and the like, that are disposed at the tip. A physiological saline solution is placed into the inflation portion to inflate it for inspection and diagnosis. The balloon can permeate the laser beam and is transmissible so that laser beam radiation therapy can be performed.</p> |
