Abstract
Medical devices and methods of manufacturing medical devices. The medical devices include an elongate member having a proximal portion and a distal portion and a connector assembly disposed adjacent the elongated member to connect the proximal and distal portions, the connector assembly including a radiopaque marker.
Claims41
A medical device comprising:
- an first elongated member having a proximal portion and a distal portion;
- an second elongated member having a proximal portion and a distal portion;
- a connector disposed adjacent the distal portion of the first elongated member and adjacent the proximal portion of the second elongated member to connect the first and second elongated members;
- and
- a radiopaque marker disposed adjacent the connector for imaging the device.
