A BALLOON DILATATION CATHETER FOR TREATMENT OF PARANASAL SINUS DISEASES

摘要

The invention of the present application is a balloon dilatation catheter providing illumination at the distal tip. Different from the known status of the art and via the novel system found in its structure, it provides the advantage of observing not only the proximal tip of the balloon, but also the distal tip. Said paranasal sinus balloon dilatation catheter, comprises a battery (14) performing the task of power source, a LED (16) performing the task of light source (16), and on-off button (15) in the hub (10) part. It comprises one or more optic fibers (23) extending within the tubular catheter shaft (20) towards distal direction from the proximal hub (10) body and providing illumination at the catheter tip part.
