ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a dilatation catheter which includes a balloon having at least one layer of a thermoplastic material consisting essentially of a random copolymer made from dimethyl terephthalate dimethyl isophthalate and ethylene glycol. These balloons are particular suited for use on dilatation catheters used for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
