摘要

DETACHABLE BALLOON CATHETER DEVICE: AND METHOD OF USE A detachable balloon catheter device comprises a hollow cannula adapted for attachment to a fluid source. An inflatable balloon is detachably connected to an end of the cannula in fluid communication therewith. A closure is adapted to seal the balloon internally after it is inflated with fluid from the source responsive to withdrawing movement of the cannula from the balloon in the proximal direction. Use of the balloon catheter device substantially as described above to occlude a vessel is also contemplated by the present invention.
