Abstract:
An elongate catheter tip may be coupled to an elongate catheter body adjacent a distal end of the catheter body. To couple a catheter tip to a catheter body, a proximal portion of the catheter tip may (1) be disposed between a first elongate member and an second elongate member and (2) be subsequently fused to the second elongate member and the first elongate member. The resulting catheter and catheter tip may, among other functions, facilitate the measurement of differences in fluid pressure and/or facilitate the delivery of fluid or medical devices during a medical procedure.
