Patent abstract
A catheter is fabricated by joining a first catheter body segment, the first segment including a braided or coiled filament reinforcing layer contained within an outer layer, to a second catheter body segment by thermal fusion in a zone including an interface between the first segment and the second segment and at a temperature causing ends of the filament reinforcing layer in the zone to extend outward within the outer layer. Following thermal fusion, the extending ends of the filament reinforcing layer are removed.
