Abstract
A catheter includes a catheter shaft having an inner layer, a reinforcing body covering the inner layer, and an outer layer covering the reinforcing body. Additionally, a tubular metallic distal end tip is provided at the distal end of the catheter shaft, and a slit is formed on the distal end tip. An outer peripheral surface of the distal end tip is provided with outer coating such that the outer coating is disposed within the slit. Thus, the metallic distal end tip may bend easily and the distal end tip is not easily caught on, for example, a lesion.
