a balloon consisting of braided fibers encapsulated between two plastic elastomeric materials affixes to a distal end of a catheter . the braided fibers provide reinforcement to contain pressure and determine the maximum diameter of the balloon on expansion . the elastomeric material provides for fluid containment and collapsing of the balloon after pressurization . an embedded spring in an elastomeric material internal to the catheter provides memory to assist in collapsing the balloon after pressurization . the embedded spring extends from the distal end of the catheter towards the proximal end of the catheter along a substantial length of the catheter . the catheter with the balloon are in a multilumen configuration or in a coaxial configuration . a guidewire passage extends through the elastomeric material with the embedded spring .
