Abstract
In some examples, a catheter includes an inner liner, an outer jacket, and a structural support member positioned between at least a portion of the inner liner and at least a portion of the outer jacket. A surface of at least a portion of the structural support member is surface treated to increase an adhesion of the surface to at least one of the inner liner or the outer jacket. Examples surface treatments include physical treatments, chemical treatments, coating treatments, and combinations thereof. In some instances, the at least one portion of the structural support member is a relatively high density portion.
