Catheters having an overmolded hub are disclosed. The overmolded catheter
hubs may include one or more access hubs that are overmolded with an
overmold material. The catheter hub may also be formed as a single piece
from the overmold material. The overmolded construction can result in a
stronger bond between the catheter body and the hub and can provide for
access hubs having sufficient clarity for the observation of air bubbles
in a contained fluid. The disclosed catheter hubs may also demonstrate
improved balloon deflation rates when utilized with a catheter body
having a distal balloon.
