ABSTRACT:
A one-piece balloon protector apparatus for a dilatation catheter. The disclosed protector comprises a unitary, planar element having two sets of longitudinal ribs, one set being disposed on a first planar face of the protector along a first edge and another set being disposed on the opposite planar face of the protector on the opposite edge. The protector is installed around a dilatation catheter balloon by placing the balloon on the protector and then coiling or wrapping the protector around the balloon. The two sets of ribs thus come come into contact an interlock with one another to secure the protector in a cylindrical configuration around the balloon.
