Abstract
A flexible catheter comprises at least one resilient, flexible, tubular layer in telescoping relation with, and bonded to, a tubular wire sheath. A first catheter section includes the wire strands at a first angle to each other. A second catheter section includes the wire strands at a second angle to each other, with the second angle being different from the first angle so that the physical characteristics of the first and second catheter sections are different.
