Catheters formed from polyurethane containing sufficient halogenated moieties in the polymer structure to make the polyurethanes radiopaque. Such polyurethanes can be prepared by employing halogenated diols or halogenated diisocyanate reactants. In preferred cases, the catheters are optically transparent in addition to being radiopaque. Furthermore, the catheters contain virtually kink-free resistance, up to at least 85% recovery volumne flow after bending.
由聚
氨酯形成的导管,其聚合物结构中含有足够的卤化分子,使聚
氨酯不透射线。这种聚
氨酯可以通过使用卤代二醇或卤代二
异氰酸酯反应物来制备。在优选情况下,导管除了不透射线外,在光学上也是透明的。此外,导管还具有几乎无扭结的阻力,弯曲后可恢复至少 85% 的体积流量。
