Capsule delivery device for light-activatable therapeutic media

The described embodiments relate to devices for delivering activatable compounds to a patient's lumen, such as in transcatheter procedures. More specifically, described embodiments relate to delivery devices operable to deliver activatable compounds and activate compounds. Such delivery devices include a balloon (14) having a therapeutic region (16) for delivery and/or activation of an activatable compound and a non-therapeutic region (18) that prevents delivery and/or activation of the activatable compound for controlled delivery and activation of the activatable compound. 所描述的实施例涉及用于诸如在经导管手术中将可激活化合物递送至患者内腔的装置。更具体地，所描述的实施例涉及可操作成递送可激活化合物并激活化合物的递送装置。这样的递送装置包括具有用于可激活化合物递送和/或激活的治疗区(16)以及阻止可激活化合物递送和/或激活的非治疗区(18)的囊体(14)，以用于可激活化合物的受控递送和激活。
