Summary:A method of swaging the distal end of a catheter hub having a central aperture from which a catheter cannula extends in a manner leaving substantially no flash. The method comprises the steps of inserting the distal end of the catheter hub between opposing faces of a swaging press. The faces are closed against the catheter hub until such closure is limited by a stop located between the opposing faces. A compression member is moved between the opposing faces to compress true hub between the compression member and the stop.
