The balloon has a proximal skirt section and a distal skirt section sealingly secured to the shaft, and an inflatable section therebetween with an interior in fluid communication with the at least one lumen of the shaft. The distal skirt section of the balloon has a proximal portion, and a distal portion with a smaller outer diameter than the proximal portion. Preferably, the distal tip member has a proximal section with an inner surface bonded to an outer surface of the distal portion of the distal skirt section, and a distal section extending beyond the distal end of the balloon.
