Abstract
The invention relates to a balloon catheter with a catheter body (1) and with a balloon (2), wherein the balloon (2) is arranged along part of the length of the balloon catheter and can be expanded by delivery of a pressure medium through a delivery line (3). The balloon catheter is characterized in that the outside of the balloon (2) has a multiplicity of punctiform or groove-shaped depressions (4). These improve the application of forces to a vascular wall or stent surrounding the balloon (2). Moreover, in the case of balloons (2) coated with a medicament, the adherence of the medicament is strengthened.
