ABSTRACT:
The mesh balloon catheter device includes a catheter having a distal end and a proximal end, a tube of woven interlaced filaments forming a tubular mesh and having a proximal end connected to the distal end of the catheter and a distal end, a flush tube or fiber optic tube extending through the catheter and the tubular mesh and fixed to the distal end of the tubular mesh, and a mechanism for moving the distal end of the tubular mesh toward the proximal end of the tubular mesh to cause the tubular mesh to balloon laterally outwardly to the shape of a mesh balloon.
The moving mechanism can be realized by the flush tube or fiber optic tube connected to the distal end of the tubular mesh or by a control wire connected to the distal end of the tubular mesh and extending through the catheter.
