Ultrasonic Coating Balloon Dilatation Catheter

Medical black technology: Ultrasonic spraying empowers balloon dilatation catheters and opens a new chapter in interventional treatment

At the moment when medical technology is developing rapidly, interventional treatment has become an important means of treating many diseases with its advantages such as small trauma and fast recovery. As a key device for interventional treatment, the performance of balloon dilatation catheters directly affects the treatment effect. Today, let’s talk about a cutting-edge technology that allows balloon dilatation catheters to achieve a leap in performance-ultrasonic spraying.

Limitations of traditional processes

In the past, there were many shortcomings in the surface treatment process of balloon dilatation catheters. Traditional coating methods are difficult to achieve uniformity and the coating thickness deviation is large. This not only affects the smooth push of the balloon in the blood vessel, but may also cause uneven pressure distribution during balloon expansion, increasing the risk of surgery such as vascular rupture. Moreover, the traditional process has limited load capacity for some special drugs or functional materials, and cannot give full play to the auxiliary treatment role of balloon dilatation catheters in the treatment process.

Ultrasonic spraying, what’s the magic?

Ultrasonic spraying technology uses the high-frequency vibration of ultrasound to atomize the spraying material into extremely small and uniform particles. These tiny particles are evenly attached to the surface of the balloon dilatation catheter under precise control. Compared with traditional processes, ultrasonic spraying has incomparable advantages.

First, the coating uniformity is excellent. By precisely controlling the frequency and power of ultrasound, it can ensure that every balloon surface is evenly covered, and the coating thickness error can be controlled within a very small range, ensuring the stability and reliability of the balloon when working in the body.

Secondly, the loading capacity of drugs or functional materials is greatly improved. It can enable the balloon to carry drugs more effectively, slowly release drugs while dilating blood vessels, inhibit blood vessel restenosis, and improve the treatment effect. For example, in coronary artery intervention, balloons equipped with anti-proliferative drugs can significantly reduce the chance of blood vessels being blocked again after surgery.

Furthermore, the ultrasonic spraying process is gentle and will not damage the balloon material, ensuring the physical properties and chemical stability of the balloon and extending its service life.

Ultrasonic spraying technology has brought revolutionary changes to balloon dilatation catheters and promoted interventional treatment to a higher level. With the continuous development and improvement of this technology, I believe that it will bring hope to more patients in the future and make medical methods more accurate and efficient.
