ABSTRACT:
An improved joint for connection of two segments of intravascular catheters of the type having an inner tubular member defining a lumen, an outer tubular member surrounding said inner member, and a support member mounted between the tubular members to provide rigidity to the flexible catheter. The improved joint is also used for connecting a similar type catheter to a desired tip. The preferred embodiment comprises a counterbore in the end of the catheter from which approximately all of the inner tubular member and support member have been removed. The counterbore is adapted to mate with a male portion on either the second catheter or the tip to form an overlap type joint.
