摘要：
This invention relates to an airway dilation device (20) comprising a catheter (50)； an inflation tube (90) within the catheter (50), and having a lumen (40) defined by its inner wall； a duct (160) within the catheter (50), for the insufflation of a fluid, the duct (160) being sealed against any fluid flow between it and the tube (90)； a cluster of balloons (30), arranged about the catheter (50), the balloons (30) being manipulated between a stowed condition, in which the balloons (30) are deflated, and a deployed condition, in which the balloons (30) are inflated； and inflating means, for inflating the balloons (30)； characterised in that, when stowed, each balloon (30) is folded and staggered relative to each adjacent balloon (30), and such that continuous insufflation remains possible, even when the deployed. This invention relates, further, to corresponding methods of deployment and retrieval of devices (20).
