Abstract
Catheters having a stiffening element are disclosed. The resultant catheters may include one or more access hubs. During use of the catheters, a stiffening element can provide an increased and variable resistance to deformation of the catheter body. The proximal end of the stiffening element may be coupled to the catheter hub. The stiffening element may move in the lumen it occupies as the catheter is threaded along the wire guide, thus allowing the catheter components to attain their lowest energy configuration at each bend.
