Abstract
The disclosed technology can include a catheter braid including wire segments with varying cross-section shapes. Wire segments at a proximal portion of the braid can have a substantially rectangular cross-section shape, while wire segments at a distal portion of the braid can have a substantially circular cross-section shape. The cross-section shape can gradually transition from rectangular to circular along the length of the braid. The catheter braid can include wire segments having an outer core and an inner core. The inner core at the proximal section of the braid can have a substantially rectangular cross-section shape, while the inner core at the distal portion of the braid can have a substantially circular cross-section shape. The cross-section shape of the inner core can gradually transition from rectangular to the circular to provide a smooth transition. The composition of the inner core can be varied along the length of the braid.
