Abstract
A balloon catheter for use with a guidewire includes an elongated, tubular shaft extending in a longitudinal direction, said shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. An inflatable balloon is connected to the distal end of the shaft, the balloon including a working surface. A radiopaque identifier is provided for identifying the working surface. A receiver adjacent the proximal end of the shaft is adapted for allowing the shaft to move relative to the receiver in at least the longitudinal direction.
