ABSTRACT:
A catheter assembly including at least one introducer defining a passage receiving an elongate tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between an elongate shape-imparting element received in the lumen and imparting a predetermined shape to the distal end of the elongate tubular member, when the distal end of the elongate tubular member is extended beyond a distal end of the at least one introducer. A distal end of the one-piece shape-imparting element extends from the lumen of the elongate tubular member and is anchored proximal the distal end of the at least one introducer.
