  • Catheter shaft including a metallic tapered region
    Patent number: 9339628
    Abstract: A catheter shaft including a metallic tubular member including a plurality of apertures formed in the tubular wall of the metallic tubular member to provide a desired degree of flexibility to the metallic tubular member. The metallic tubular member includes a tapered region intermediate a region and a second, reduced diameter region relative to the first region.

  • CATHETERS AND CATHETER SHAFTS
    Publication number: 20150057639
    Abstract: Medical devices and methods for making and using medical devices are disclosed. An example medical device may include a catheter shaft having an inner surface defining a lumen. A liner may be disposed within the lumen and along the inner surface. At least a portion of the liner may be radially spaced from the inner surface of the catheter shaft so that a space is defined therebetween. The liner may include an inner layer, an outer layer, and a polymeric reinforcing member. At least a portion of the polymeric reinforcing member may be disposed between an outer surface of the inner layer and an outer surface of the outer layer. The polymeric reinforcing member may have a melting temperature lower than the melting temperature of the inner layer, the outer layer, or both.

  • TORQUEABLE CATHETER HUB AND RELATED METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20140025044
    Abstract: Medical devices, catheter hubs, and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. An example medical device may include a catheter shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end. A hub may be coupled to the proximal end of the catheter shaft. The hub may include a hub body and a rotatable tip member that rotatable with respect to the hub body. A distal end of the rotatable tip member may be coupled to the proximal end of the catheter shaft. The rotatable tip member may be configured to transmit torque applied to the rotatable tip member to the catheter shaft.
