Abstract

See full text

A balloon coating method for forming a coating layer containing a water-insoluble drug on an outer surface of a balloon of a balloon catheter includes: fixing a connection portion between the balloon and an inner tube penetrating an inside of the balloon in such a manner as to clamp the connection portion by at least two clamping portions each having a groove-shaped curved surface extending along an axis of the inner tube; pulling the balloon in an axial direction of the balloon by the clamping portions to thereby straighten a bend of the balloon; and moving a dispensing tube for supplying a coating liquid containing the drug relative to the balloon in the axial direction of the balloon, while rotating the balloon about an axis of the balloon, to thereby coat the outer surface of the balloon with the coating liquid.
