Abstract: A catheter assembly is disclosed comprising a catheter, a tubular structure affixed to an exterior surface of the catheter, and a stablizing cuff affixed to, and at least partially embedded within, the tubular structure. The tubular structure may include a tapered surface extending from an end of the tubular structure to an exterior surface of the catheter. A method of manufacturing a catheter assembly is also disclosed. For example, such a method may comprise positioning a tubular structure about a catheter, positioning a stabilizing cuff near the tubular structure, and partially embedding at least a portion of the stablizing cuff within the tubular structure while shaping the tubular structure to form a tapered surface. A temporary sleeve may be positioned about the tubular structure prior to shaping the tubular structure. The tubular may also be performed to include a tapered end prior to positioning the tubular structure about the catheter.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种导管组件，其包括导管，固定到导管的外表面的管状结构，以及固定到管状结构中并且至少部分地嵌入在管状结构内的稳定套箍。 管状结构可以包括从管状结构的端部延伸到导管的外表面的锥形表面。 还公开了一种制造导管组件的方法。 例如，这种方法可以包括围绕导管定位管状结构，在管状结构附近定位稳定的袖带，以及将稳定的袖带的至少一部分部分地嵌入管状结构内，同时使管状结构成形以形成锥形表面 。 在成形管状结构之前，临时套筒可以围绕管状结构定位。 在将管状结构定位在导管周围之前，还可以执行管状件以包括锥形端。
