| Summary: | The present invention relates to intravascular catheters, and more particularly to a catheter having metallic reinforcing braiding configured to provide the catheter with radiopaque properties and/or kink resistance.
An intravascular catheter () having an elongated tubular body with a proximal portion, a distal portion and a lumen extending therebetween. The tubular body is formed with polymeric materials, preferably containing no radiopaque filler, and metallic reinforcing braiding () configured to provide the catheter () with radiopaque properties and/or kink resistance. |
