The catheter balloon assembly also comprises a frangible cover covering at least a portion of the balloon body portion, the frangible cover being operable to rupture under an internal pressure before the rupture of the balloon. The frangible cover is operable to control the balloon to open to an intermediate diameter that is less than the working diameter, the intermediate diameter being substantially uniform along the working length of the balloon. 7384640_1 (GHMatters) P96327.AU.1
