Application Number:13/603,239
Patent Claims:1. A method of selectively coating or filling the folds of a folded catheter balloon in which: a) an active agent-containing composition is delivered at the distal or proximal end of a fold of the folded catheter balloon and the fold is filled due to capillary forces; or b) a syringe which delivers a continuous flow of an active agent-containing composition is moved relative to the folded catheter balloon along the fold; or c) a plurality of delivery openings being in series are pushed under the fold of the folded balloon and an active agent-containing composition is delivered simultaneously from the plurality of delivery openings into the fold; and wherein only the folds of the folded catheter balloon are coated or filled selectively and the surface of the folded catheter balloon outside the folds is not coated.

2. Method according to claim 1, wherein the folded catheter balloon is coated or filled in the compressed or deflated state or at maximum 10% inflated state.

3. Method according to claim 1, wherein two or more or all of the folds of the folded catheter balloon are filled or coated simultaneously.
