In each drawing, for convenience, reference numerals and the like may be omitted, but in this case, reference is made to the specification and other drawings. In addition, the dimensions of the various components in the drawings are preferred to facilitate an understanding of the features of the present application, and thus there are cases where they are different from the actual dimensions.
The balloon catheter according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a shaft having a distal portion and a proximal portion; and a balloon located at a distal portion of the shaft and having a straight tube portion, the balloon having a blade-shaped portion in a contracted state and having a protruding portion on an outer surface, wherein, in a cross section of the straight tube portion in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, when a direction from a top of the protruding portion toward a center of the shaft is a Y direction and a direction perpendicular to the Y direction is an X direction, scattering intensity of each portion of the cross section measured by a laser raman spectroscopy satisfies the following formula (1).

As described above, when the straight tube portion of the balloon satisfies the formula (1), the central portion in the circumferential direction of the base end portion of the protruding portion is a portion excellent in rigidity due to the large orientation of the higher-order structure, and as a result, the protruding portion is less likely to be buried in the balloon. When the straight tube portion of the balloon satisfies the expression (1), the top portion of the protruding portion is a portion having a relatively small orientation and moderate flexibility, and as a result, the portion is likely to enter a narrowed portion having a complicated shape. By utilizing the functions of the circumferential center portion of the proximal end portion of the protruding portion and the top portion of the protruding portion, it is possible to easily introduce an incision into a hardened narrow portion in a blood vessel.
The balloon catheter according to the embodiment will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 3. Fig. 1 is a side view of a balloon catheter according to an embodiment after balloon inflation. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view A-A of the balloon catheter of fig. 1 in a contracted state prior to balloon inflation. Fig. 3 is a B-B cross-sectional view of the balloon catheter of fig. 1 after balloon inflation.
As shown in fig. 1, the balloon catheter 1 has: a shaft 3 having a distal portion 1B and a proximal portion 1A; and a balloon 2 located at the distal portion 1B of the shaft 3 and having a straight tube portion 23. The balloon catheter 1 is preferably configured to be supplied with fluid to the interior of the balloon 2 via the shaft 3. For example, the inflation and deflation of the balloon 2 can be controlled using a balloon pressurizer. The fluid may be a pressurized fluid pressurized by a pump or the like.
The shaft 3 preferably has a fluid flow path inside. The shaft 3 preferably further has an insertion passage for a wire-like body such as a guide wire. Specifically, the shaft 3 preferably includes an outer tube 31 and an inner tube 32 in which at least a proximal portion is disposed in the outer tube 31. This allows the inner tube 32 to function as an insertion passage of the linear body, and allows the space between the inner tube 32 and the outer tube 31 to function as a fluid flow path. In this case, the inner tube 32 preferably extends and protrudes from the distal end of the outer tube 31. It is further preferable that the distal side of the balloon 2 is fixed to the inner tube 32 and the proximal side of the balloon 2 is fixed to the outer tube 31.
The straight tube portion 23 preferably has substantially the same diameter in the axial direction a. Further, the straight tube portion 23 preferably has the largest diameter in the balloon 2 when inflated. By having the straight tube portion 23 with the maximum diameter, when the balloon 2 is expanded in a lesion such as a stricture, the straight tube portion 23 is sufficiently brought into contact with the lesion, and the expansion of the lesion can be facilitated.
The balloon 2 preferably has: a straight pipe portion 23; a proximal-side tapered portion 22 located on the proximal side of the straight tube portion 23; and a distal taper portion 24 located on a distal side from the straight tube portion 23. The proximal tapered portion 22 and the distal tapered portion 24 are preferably tapered as they are away from the straight tube portion 23. The proximal tapered portion 22 and the distal tapered portion 24 facilitate movement of the balloon 2 in the body cavity.
The balloon 2 preferably has a proximal fixing portion 21 fixed to the shaft 3 on the proximal side of the proximal tapered portion 22, and a distal fixing portion 25 fixed to the shaft 3 on the distal side of the distal tapered portion 24. For example, in the case where the shaft 3 has the outer tube 31 and the inner tube 32, at least a part of the proximal fixing portion 21 is preferably fixed to the outer tube 31, and at least a part of the distal fixing portion 25 is preferably fixed to the inner tube 32.
As shown in fig. 2, the balloon 2 has a blade-shaped portion 70 in the shape of a blade in a contracted state, and has a protruding portion 60 on the outer side surface. It is preferable that the blade-shaped portion 70 has portions overlapping each other in the inner surface of the balloon 2 in the state where the balloon 2 is contracted. In addition, it is preferable that the blade shape portion 70 is formed to be folded with the top portion 71 as a crease, for example.
The protruding portion 60 is provided on the outer side surface of the balloon 2. By expanding the balloon 2 in a calcified lesion or the like, the protruding portion 60 can introduce a crack into a calcified and hardened lesion, for example, to expand a stricture.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the protruding portion 60 is preferably located at a portion other than the blade-shaped portion 70. Since the protruding portion 60 is located at a portion other than the blade-shaped portion 70, the blade-shaped portion 70 and the protruding portion 60 are disposed at different positions in the circumferential direction of the balloon 2 in the contracted state, and when the blade-shaped portion 70 of the balloon 2 is folded, the outer diameter of the balloon 2 can be reduced.
The maximum length of the protruding portion 60 in the radial direction is preferably 1.2 times or more, more preferably 1.5 times or more, and even more preferably 2 times or more the film thickness of the balloon main body 20. Thus, an incision having a proper depth is easily introduced into the narrowed portion. On the other hand, the maximum length of the protruding portion 60 in the radial direction may be 100 times or less, 50 times or less, 30 times or less, or 10 times or less. The radial length of the protruding portion 60 may be different or the same in the axial direction a.
The shape of the A-A section and the B-B section of the protruding portion 60 is preferably triangular, trapezoidal, semicircular, or semi-elliptical. Further, it is more preferable that the sectional shape is a 1-step taper shape having only one taper portion tapering in a direction from the center 3a of the shaft 3 toward the top 61 of the protruding portion 60.
As shown in fig. 1, the protruding portion 60 is preferably provided in the straight tube portion 23, more preferably in the proximal tapered portion 22, the straight tube portion 23, and the distal tapered portion 24, and further preferably in the proximal fixed portion 21, the proximal tapered portion 22, the straight tube portion 23, the distal tapered portion 24, and the distal fixed portion 25. The number of the protruding portions 60 may be one or a plurality. In the case where a plurality of the protruding portions 60 are provided in the circumferential direction, the plurality of protruding portions 60 are preferably separated in the circumferential direction, and more preferably arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.
As shown in fig. 1, the protruding portion 60 preferably extends in the axial direction a on the outer side surface of the balloon main body 20. This makes it possible to cut the narrow portion straight. Although not shown, the protruding portion 60 may be disposed at different positions in the circumferential direction in the axial direction a, for example, in a spiral shape so as to circumferentially surround the outer surface of the balloon main body 20. Thereby enabling the narrow portion to be cut obliquely.
In a cross section of the straight tube portion 23 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction a as shown in fig. 2, when the direction from the top 61 of the protruding portion 60 toward the center 3a of the shaft 3 is the Y direction and the direction perpendicular to the Y direction is the X direction, the scattering intensity of each portion of the cross section measured by the laser raman spectroscopy satisfies the following expression (1).

The larger the value of Ia/Ib calculated based on this laser raman spectroscopy, the larger the orientation of the higher order structure within the balloon 2. Thus, as in the above formula (1), the formula I 2 Greater than I 1 As a result, the circumferential center portion 62 of the base end portion of the protruding portion 60 becomes a portion having high-order structure with greater orientation and excellent rigidity, and as a result, the protruding portion 60 is less likely to be buried in the balloon 2. Thus, I 2 Preferably I 1 More preferably not less than 1.5 times, still more preferably not less than 2.5 times, still more preferably not less than 3.5 times, still more preferably not less than 4.0 times. On the other hand, preference is given to I 2 Is I 1 Is less than 10 times of the total weight of the steel sheet. This can facilitate manufacturing of the balloon 2.

Through I 3 Greater than I 1 As a result, the protruding portion 60 is less likely to be embedded in the balloon 2 because the rigidity of the one end 63 in the circumferential direction of the base end of the protruding portion 60 is increased due to the higher-order structure. I 3 Preferably I 1 More preferably not less than 1.5 times, still more preferably not less than 2.0 times, still more preferably not less than 2.5 times. On the other hand, I 3 Preferably I 1 Is less than 6 times of the total weight of the steel sheet. This can facilitate manufacturing of the balloon 2.

The larger the values of Ia/Ib, ic/Id calculated based on this laser raman spectroscopy, the larger the orientation of the higher order structures within the balloon 2. Thus, through I 2 Greater than I 4 As a result, the circumferential center portion 62 of the base end portion of the protruding portion 60 becomes a portion having high-order structure with greater orientation and excellent rigidity, and as a result, the protruding portion 60 is less likely to be buried in the balloon 2. I 2 Preferably I 4 More preferably 1.01 times or more, still more preferably 1.02 times or more, and still more preferably 1.03 times or more.

The balloon 2 can be manufactured using, for example, a parison 200 made of resin and having a thick wall portion 220 extending in the axial direction a as shown in fig. 4. For example, the parison 200 can be produced by disposing it in an inner cavity of a mold and blow molding it. Specifically, the balloon 2 can be formed by, for example, disposing the parison 200 in the cavity of a mold, inserting the thick portion 220 of the parison 200 into a groove of a predetermined shape of the mold, introducing a fluid into the cavity 210 of the parison 200, and heating while expanding the parison 200. The width and height of the protruding portion 60 can be adjusted by the thickness of the thick-wall portion 220 of the parison 200, and the depth and shape of the groove of the mold. The fluid may be air, nitrogen, water, or the like. In blow molding, the parison 200 is preferably heated at a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition temperature of the resin. In addition, the parison 200 may be extended in the axial direction a before this expansion. The step of expanding the parison 200 may be performed only 1 time or may be performed a plurality of times. In the case of performing the expansion step a plurality of times, a different mold may be used for each expansion.
As shown in fig. 5, the thick portion 220 of the parison 200 preferably includes: a first tapered portion 221 that tapers in a direction from the inner cavity 210 toward the top of the thick-walled portion 220; and a second tapered portion 222, which is located closer to the top of the thick portion 220 than the first tapered portion 221, and which tapers in a direction from the inner cavity 210 toward the top of the thick portion 220. Since the parison 200 has the 2-step tapered portion in this way, tension is easily applied to the first tapered portion 221 during blow molding, and thus the orientation in the vicinity of the center portion 62 of the base end portion of the protruding portion 60 obtained by blow molding can be increased. In fig. 5, a parison having a 2-step taper portion over the entire length is shown, but a parison having a 2-step taper portion in a part of the parison may be used. Thus, a portion having excellent rigidity can be provided at a desired position of the straight tube portion 23.
In the blow molding, the protrusion 60 having a 1-stage tapered shape is preferably formed by eliminating the 2-stage tapered shape of the parison 200. This can further increase the orientation in the vicinity of the center portion 62 of the base end portion of the protruding portion 60. As a method of eliminating the 2-step tapered shape of the parison 200, the parison 200 may be blow molded after only the second tapered portion 222 is inserted into the groove without inserting the first tapered portion 221 into the groove in the cavity of the mold. Further, the groove is preferably a V-shaped groove.
The width W1 of the base end portion of the first tapered portion 221 is preferably 1.5 times or more, more preferably 2.0 times or more the width W2 of the base end portion 222 of the second tapered portion. This makes it possible to easily apply tension to the first tapered portion 221 during blow molding. On the other hand, the magnification may be 10 times or less, or 5 times or less.
The height h1 of the first tapered portion 221 is preferably 0.9 times or less, more preferably 0.8 times or less the height h2 of the second tapered portion 222. This makes it possible to easily apply tension to the first tapered portion 221 during blow molding. On the other hand, the magnification may be 0.1 times or more, or 0.2 times or more.
Preferably, the shaft 33 comprises a resin, rubber or a mixture thereof. Examples of the resin and the rubber include polyamide resin, polyester resin, polyurethane resin, polyolefin resin, fluororesin, vinyl chloride resin, silicone resin, natural rubber, and the like. Only 1 kind of them may be used, or 2 or more kinds may be used in combination. It is preferable that the laminate contains a polyamide resin, a polyolefin resin, a fluororesin, a mixture thereof, or a laminate obtained by laminating resin layers thereof. This can improve the sliding property of the surface of the shaft 3 and the insertion property of the balloon catheter 1 into the body cavity. As a method of fixing the balloon 2 to the shaft 3, a method of joining and welding with an adhesive, and a method of caulking and fixing the annular member are mentioned. The shaft 3 may include a metal pipe, a single or a plurality of wires, a twisted wire, or the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the balloon catheter 1 may have a pivot (hub) 4 on the proximal side of the shaft 3. The pivot 4 may also have: a fluid injection unit 7 that communicates with a flow path of a fluid to be supplied to the interior of the balloon 2; and a guide wire insertion portion 5 communicating with the insertion passage of the guide wire. This makes it possible to easily perform an operation of supplying a fluid into the balloon 2 to expand the balloon 2 and an operation of delivering the balloon 2 to a treatment site along a guide wire. The balloon catheter 1 is preferably of The so-called Over-The-Wire type as shown in fig. 1, in which a guide Wire is inserted from The distal side to The proximal side of The shaft 3, but may be of The so-called Rapid Exchange type in which a guide Wire is inserted from The distal side to The halfway of The proximal side of The shaft 3.

Using this mold, the parison 200 was biaxially stretch blow molded at 100 ℃ to produce the balloon 2. Next, the straight tube portion 23 of the balloon 2 was cut, and the obtained sample was embedded in a resin, and then a frozen microtome (UC 6) for the measurement was used to prepare a section for observation. Next, wave numbers 1630 to 1650cm in the X-direction and Y-direction in each of the top 61 of the protruding portion 60, the circumferential center portion 62 of the base end portion, the circumferential one end portion 63 of the base end portion, and the top 71 of the blade-shaped portion 70 were obtained by using a Raman spectrometer 1 Peak intensity of peaks in the range of (1), and the presence of the same at wave numbers 1430-1450 cm- 1 Peak intensities of peaks in the range of (2). The details of this measurement are as follows.
The device comprises: raman spectrometer (Ranshao in Via) TM Qontor)
And (3) a microscope: leika microsystem DM2700 system

Based on the peak intensities obtained by the above measurement, I as described in the above (1) to (4) was calculated 1 ~I 4 Is a value of (2). The results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
As shown in table 1, balloon 2 satisfies formula (1). When the balloon 2 is fixed to the shaft and the balloon 2 is expanded in the plaster model, the protruding portion 60 of the straight tube portion 23 bites into the plaster model. After the balloon is contracted and pulled out from the plaster model, the shape in which the protruding portion 60 bites can be confirmed as shown in fig. 6 and 7. As described above, the protruding portion 60 of the straight tube portion 23 of the balloon 2 is not easily buried in the balloon 2, and is easily bitten into the plaster model. When the balloon 2 is moved in the plaster model simulating the stricture before the expansion, the insertion and extraction operations can be smoothly performed without being caught by the proper flexibility of the top 61 of the protruding portion 60.
Example 2
A balloon was produced in the same manner as in example 1 except that the base end portion of the first tapered portion of the parison 200 was formed to have a width (W1) of 0.7mm by extrusion molding using a polyamide elastomer (Rilsamid (registered trademark) PA 12) manufactured by ARKEMA, and the peak intensities of the respective portions were obtained to calculate I as described in the above (1) to (4) 1 ~I 4 Is a value of (2). The results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
As shown in table 2, the balloon of example 2 satisfies the formula (1). When the balloon is fixed to the shaft and the balloon is expanded in the plaster model, the protruding portion of the straight tube portion bites into the plaster model. After the balloon is contracted and pulled out from the plaster model, the shape in which the protruding portion bites can be confirmed as shown in fig. 8 and 9. In this way, the protruding portion of the straight tube portion of the balloon is not easily buried in the balloon, and is easily bitten into the plaster model. In addition, when the balloon is moved in the plaster model simulating the stricture before the expansion, the balloon is not hooked due to the proper flexibility of the top of the protruding portion, and the insertion and extraction operations can be smoothly performed.
