Abstract
A central venous catheter is provided having an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member that are preferably formed as a single integrated tube containing polymer material of different durometer and varying amounts of radiopaque filler material. The polymer durometer of the inner tubular member is higher than the polymer durometer of the outer tubular member. The percentage by weight of the filler material contained in the inner tubular member is higher than that of the outer tubular member. The combination of the higher durometer inner tubular member and the lower durometer outer tubular member along the length of the tube provides the desired tensile strength, hardness, chemical resistance and fatigue resistance and at the same time provides the desired flexibility and radiopacity.
