More Information
Summary:A catheter and system for delivering viscous fluid, under high pressures, into the vasculature of a patient includes a catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end, a reinforcing member surrounding at least a portion of the proximal end, and a compression fitting surrounding the reinforcing member for holding the proximal end of the catheter body. A strain relief element shrouds a portion of the proximal end to prevent kinking of the catheter body. Accordingly, the reinforcing member, the compression fitting and the strain relief element cooperate to hold the catheter body in a luer fitting and to prevent the proximal end of the catheter body from kinking under bending, and to prevent leakage or bursting under pressure.
