Abstract

See full text

A method for forming a guide catheter with a deformable tip includes setting a mating distal end of a tubular member against a mating proximal end of a soft, deformable tip to form a butt joint. The butt joint is then softened to render the mating proximal and distal ends of the deformable tip and tubular member flowable. The tubular member and the deformable tip are then oscillated along a longitudinal axis such that the materials of the mating proximal and distal ends flow into one another creating a connection zone. The connection zone then solidifies to form a lap joint tip bond that securely fastens the deformable tip to the tubular member.
