Abstract

The invention relates to a drug-coated balloon catheter which has a catheter balloon mounted on its distal end and an expansion protection surrounding the same. The invention is characterized in that the catheter balloon is protected from premature expansion even under strong mechanical stress and in that the catheter balloon folds back more easily after dilation.
