  • Catheter devices with damping assemblies for core wires
    Patent number: 12702432
    Abstract: A damping assembly for a core wire of an ultrasonic catheter assembly includes a body for receiving the core wire. The body includes a bore extending from a proximal end of the body. The bore is defined by an interior surface of the body and includes an insertion region at the proximal end and a compression region disposed distal to the insertion region. A plurality of compression members are disposed within the compression region of the bore. A retention member extends at least partially into the compression region to axially compress the plurality of compression members. The interior surface of the body defining the insertion region of the bore corresponds in shape to at least a portion of an exterior surface of the retention member to facilitate insertion of the retention member into the bore.
