Coatings For PTA Balloon Catheter

Coatings For PTA Balloon Catheter – Spray Coating Machine – Cheersonic

PTA balloons come in various sizes, lengths and shapes, depending on the anatomy they’re intended to treat. The acronym “PTA” comes from “percutaneous transluminal angioplasty” (percutaneous means “through the skin”).

A PTA balloon catheter has an inflatable “balloon” at its tip which is used during a minimally invasive catheterization procedure. This procedure is intended to enlarge a narrowed vessel opening. The deflated balloon is positioned at the narrowed space, inflated for a short period of time, and deflated again to be removed.

Ultrasonic Balloon Catheter Coating System is suited to coating high pressure medical balloons with drug eluting polymers such as Paclitaxel and other bioabsorbable drugs for dilation procedures including coronary angioplasty or stent delivery applications.

The Balloon Catheter Coating System is a fully enclosed, sealed glovebox unit designed to coat common sizes and types of balloon catheters using Cheersonic ultrasonic nozzles combined with our UAM7000 precision air shaping systems. The spray pattern diameter and drop size are variable, depending upon the nozzle and air shaping system used. A proprietary holding device secures both ends of the catheter while rotational motors spin the catheter for 360Ocoverage of the entire balloon surface. The ultrasonic nozzle traverses across the catheter as required to coat desired lengths. The system includes controls for air flow rate, air pressure as well as continuous digital metering of humidity and temperature.
