Abstract
A catheter assembly includes a catheter and an inner needle. The catheter has a catheter body and a flexible portion that is provided on a distal portion of the catheter body, includes a distal-most portion of the catheter, and is more flexible than the catheter body. The catheter body is made of a first material. The flexible portion is made of a second material. A change in flexibility of the second material between 25° C. and 37° C. is smaller than a change in flexibility of the first material between 25° C. and 37° C.
