Definitions

  • the present invention relates to catheter tubes for catheters, wherein the catheter tubes have an outer surface made of a plastic or a polymeric material and an inner surface made of metal, metal alloy, glass, ceramic or metal oxide corresponding to the guide wire.
  • European Patent EP 0 650 740 B1 describes the use of a catheter tube which is constructed in two layers and has an outer layer made of polyamide facing the catheter balloon and an inner layer made of polyethylene facing the guidewire.
  • the catheter tube thus consists of a combination of two organic polymers.
  • This embodiment only insufficiently reduces the sliding friction between the catheter tube and the guide wire and furthermore does not have sufficient stability against collapse of the catheter tube volume when the catheter balloon is dilated.
  • the buckling stability could be further improved in this embodiment.
  • European Patent EP 0 608 853 B1 discloses the use of a catheter tube made of a superelastic metal, which from the inside, ie is coated with a synthetic resin on the surface facing the guide wire.
  • the disadvantages of the prior art can be overcome by producing the catheter tube from a polymer material which is flexible in order to also allow the catheter to curve and a hard material in the interior of the catheter tube which provides the friction minimized to the guidewire and prevents the catheter tube from collapsing when the balloon is dilated.
  • the axial compression stability could be increased, whereby the insertion, i.e. the pushability is improved.
  • This increased radial catheter tube stability significantly improves crimping of stents.
  • the construction according to the invention can better withstand the pressure on the catheter tube which is exerted by the balloon when the stent is crimped, as a result of which a better fixing of the stent is made possible.
  • the catheter tube consists of common polymeric materials and, in the case of dilatation catheters, can also be made from the same polymer as the catheter balloon.
  • Possible polymeric materials include in particular organic polymers such as polyacrylic acid, polyacrylates, polymethyl methacrylate, Polybutyl methacrylate, polyacrylamide, polyacrylonitriles, polyamides, polyetheramides, polyethylene amine, polyimides, polycarbonates, Polycarbourethane, polyvinyl ketones, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylidene halides, polyvinyl ethers, polyisobutylenes, polyvinyl aromatics, polyvinyl esters, polyvinylpyrrolidones, polyoxymethylenes, polytetramethylene oxide, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethanes, polyether silicone polyetherurethanes , Silicone polyurethanes, silicone polycarbonate urethanes, polyolefin e

  • Amount of SiO 2 particles 10% by weight based on the catheter tube
  • the essentially spherical silicon particles with an average particle size of 10 ⁇ m are added in an amount of 10% by weight to the polyamide PA11, from which the catheter tube is then formed.
  • the polymer material in the interior of the catheter tube is removed by mechanical abrasion, whereby the silicon particles are exposed, which then form the corresponding surface for the guide wire.
  • Catheter tube material three layers, high-density polyethylene inside, low-density polyethylene in the middle, polyamide outside Number of spirals: 1
  • Guide wire material Stainless steel coated with PTFE
  • a stainless steel core with a spiral recess is provided.
  • a spiral of cobalt chrome is wrapped around the core and in the recess.
  • the distance between the windings, ie the feed per winding is 0.2 mm.
  • the three-layer catheter tube is now guided over the longitudinal axis of the core.

  • the catheter tubes of the same length were clamped vertically into the measuring device and a guide wire made of stainless steel was slowly inserted completely into the catheter tube from above. It started with the catheter tube according to the invention according to Example 1 with 6 wires made of Nitinol. This was followed by the catheter tube according to the invention with silicon particles according to Example 4. As controls, appropriate catheter tubes without an internal structure were measured, as described above. The frictional resistance was now measured when pulling out the guide wire.
