Abstract
A catheter for the high-frequency therapy of body lumens has a flexible shaft tube of preferably biocompatible plastic material, which is connected to a distal end piece in the region of the distal end of the catheter. A proximal part of the distal end piece, that projects into the distal part of the shaft tube, forms a damping connection to the distal end of the shaft tube, which is secured by a distal electrode which is drawn on to the external peripheral surface of the shaft tube, by the distal electrode exerting a radially inwardly acting clamping force on the damping connection.
