Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A fiber-reinforced device, such as an inflatable medical balloon, includes a cylindrical central portion. The balloon includes first and second tapered or generally conical end portions connected to the cylindrical central portion along a central longitudinal axis extending from a first end of the balloon to a second end of the balloon. In one embodiment, the balloon includes a single continuous fiber running substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis along the central portion. The single continuous fiber may extend radially around at least a portion of at least one of the end portions, or both. The single continuous fiber may have at least one turn around on at least one of the first and second tapered or generally conical end portions of the balloon.
