ABSTRACT:
A balloon catheter with improved balloon orientation includes a head, a catheter segment extending from the head, and a balloon disposed on the catheter segment opposite the head. Preferably, the balloon is attached to the exterior of the catheter segment at a proximal location and to the interior of the catheter segment at a distal location to thereby form a balloon which extends distally from the distal end of the catheter segment when inflated. The improved orientation of the balloon helps to prevent contact between the distal end of the catheter segment and anatomical structures of the user, thereby reducing irritation.
