摘要: An improved catheter is disclosed in which the length of the active portion of the instrument is divided longitudinally into four or more beams, preferably of rectangular cross section. The beams are constituted of spring steel and are held between two abutments on the catheter, one of which is adapted to be retracted toward the other by an actuator wire controlled by a micrometer screw. The beams are positioned independently of one another and normally rest snugly about a metal tubing so that when the abutment is caused to move the compressive force causes the beams to flex outwardly except at their ends since the tubing prevents any movement inwardly. The beams therefore execute a smooth flexing effect and define an enlarged outline which, when contained in a blood vessel, artery, etc., causes a dilation of that member. When the pull in the actuator wire is released at the micrometer screw, the beams spring back into their normal rest position to allow ready retraction of the catheter. A standard form of strain gage using the Wheatstone Bridge principle may be applied to the actuator wire to determine the counterforce exerted by the blood vessel against the deployment of the dilator.
