The second tapered section tapers from a primary end adjacent the second end of the first tapered section to a secondary end. The first tapered section has a first taper angle with respect to the catheter shaft and the second tapered section has a second taper angle with respect to the catheter shaft, the first taper angle being smaller than the second taper angle.
