1. An expandable balloon configured to be bonded to a catheter shaft, comprising:

  • a proximal cone section, a distal cone section, and a medial section disposed therebetween, the distal cone section having a maximum thickness; and

    a proximal sleeve section disposed proximal the proximal cone section and a distal sleeve section disposed distal the distal cone section, the proximal and distal sleeve sections each having a wall with an inner surface, an outer surface and a thickness defined therebetween,wherein the distal sleeve section has a portion of polymeric material removed from the inner surface of the wall to define a reduced thickness less than the maximum thickness of the distal cone section.
