Abstract
A balloon catheter can evenly transmit a pushing force applied to a reinforcing member to an outer shaft and an inner shaft by fixing the distal end of the reinforcing member to an adhesion part of the outer shaft and the inner shaft. In a balloon catheter, the distal end of a reinforcing member is fixed by an adhesion part of an outer shaft and an inner shaft. Thus, a pushing force of an operator is evenly transmitted to the outer shaft and the inner shaft from the distal end of the reinforcing member through the adhesion part, reducing a relative displacement of the outer shaft and the inner shaft. Moreover, the adhesion part can reduce the detachment of the distal end of the reinforcing member from the outer shaft or the inner shaft.
