CATHETER SHAFT AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING CATHETER SHAFT FROM A PLURALITY OF DISCRETE SHAFT SEGMENTS

Abstract

Medical devices such as catheter shafts as well as methods for manufacturing catheters shafts are disclosed. An example method for manufacturing a catheter shaft may include forming a first shaft member. The first shaft member may include a first inner layer, a first reinforcing layer, and a first outer layer. The method may also include forming a second shaft member. The second shaft member may include a second inner layer, a second reinforcing layer, and a second outer layer. The method may also include trimming the first shaft member to form a first shaft segment, trimming the second shaft member to form a second shaft segment, and securing the first shaft segment to the second shaft segment.
