Abstract
A catheter with a first component, a second component, and a glue line disposed between the components which is filled with an adhesive layer joining the components. The adhesive layer is formed in two plies, whereby a first adhesive ply is bonded to the first component and a second adhesive ply is bonded to the first adhesive ply and to the second component. Thus, even catheter components which could not be bonded to each other with the use of a single-ply adhesive layer or could only be bonded with inadequate stability can be firmly bonded to each other. Moreover, one of the adhesive plies may be applied in the unassembled state of the components.
