Zusammenfassung:	A catheter (10) for delivery of intraluminal and expandable devices. The catheter is provided with a flexible curved tip (14) distal to the device (22) loaded onto. the catheter for delivery to a desired site within a body conduit. The curved distal tip causes the catheter to rotate to a preferred rotational orientation, which may be desirable for any device having asymmetric features, particularly when used in tortuous body conduits.
