Abstract
Provided is foley catheter and a composition for producing a foley catheter which is inserted in vivo and a method for producing the same, which the composition consists of the materials which carbon nanotube polymer (CNT Polymer) bonded a carbon nanotube and zinc oxide (ZnO) is combined with a silicon, wherein from 1.0 to 2.2 parts by weight of the said carbon nanotube polymer are combined with 100 parts by weight of silicon.
Claims15
A foley catheter comprising:
- a catheter body made of a first material comprising carbon nanotube polymer mixed with silicon;
- and
- a foley for catheter connected to the catheter body and configured to be inflated by a fluid introduced from an outside, and the foley for catheter is made of a second material comprising carbon nanotube polymer mixed with silicon,
- wherein the carbon nanotube polymer is polymerized with carbon nanotube and zinc oxide (ZnO), and
- wherein an insulating layer is disposed between the catheter body and the foley for catheter.
