The catheter may also have an exemplary flexible conjugate with a hub, having at least one of a ball joint, a slide plate, and a flexible bushing, which of the drug through the junction. It is sealed to prevent leakage and even allow further movement of the catheter. While doing so provides a number of benefits associated with the use of rigid materials in catheter structures, it also provides benefits associated with the use of flexible materials and / or flexible engagements with hubs in catheter structures. Is done. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1 |
