ABSTRACT:
A plurality of regions of a first transverse rigidity are formed in the flexible tip portion of a catheter having a second transverse rigidity along its length which is greater than the first transverse rigidity. The regions of the lesser first transverse rigidity are formed by areas of the catheter tip having an average transverse cross-sectional area less than a transverse cross-sectional area of the remainder of the catheter apparatus. The plurality of first transverse rigidity regions are formed by a respective plurality of circumferential cut-out regions in the catheter tip.
