What is a hypotube?
A hypotube is a long metal tube with micro-engineered properties throughout its conduit. It is an important component of minimally invasive treatment catheters and is used in conjunction with balloons and stents to open blocked arteries. The balloon portion of the catheter is attached to the distal end of the hypotube. The hypotube enters the human body and pushes the balloon along the tortuous and complex long blood vessel to the blocked artery. During this process, the hypotube needs to avoid kinking while being able to travel (propulsion, tracking and turning) smoothly through the anatomy.
