BALLOON FIXATED CATHETER

A balloon catheter for the delivery of a medication comprises a balloon fixation portion and a medication infusion portion. The balloon fixation portion comprises an expandable balloon at the distal end of a tube, the balloon inflatable to a size sufficient to retain the catheter within the area of placement, and a check valve at the proximal end of the balloon fixation portion for inflation or deflation of the balloon. The medication infusion portion comprises a tube with a precise diameter lumen functioning to control the flow rate therethrough, the tubing having one or more holes along its distal portion for infusion of medication into the patient and means on its proximal end for attachment to an infusion pump. The balloon fixation portion and the medication infusion portion are independently produced and then joined along a distal portion of both to provide a unitary catheter for placement into the body.
