A catheter assembly including a first polymer, a second polymer, and a first weld area. The first polymer forms a balloon having a first body. The second polymer forms the catheter shaft. The first body is positioned around a portion of the catheter shaft to form a first weld range. The first weld range includes a first weld and a second weld that engages the first weld with the catheter shaft. The first weld has a first longitudinal position, and the second weld has a second longitudinal position, the first longitudinal position being different from the second longitudinal position. |
