Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A multilumen catheter shaft body (104) includes a proximal end segment (1104) with a first durometer and a first longitudinal length dimension. A proximal intermediate segment (1204) is fixedly joined to a distal end of the proximal end segment and includes a second durometer and a second longitudinal length dimension. A distal intermediate segment (1304) is fixedly joined to a distal end of the proximal intermediate segment and includes a third durometer and a third longitudinal length dimension. A distal terminal end segment (1404) is fixedly joined to a distal end of the distal intermediate segment and includes a fourth durometer and a fourth longitudinal length dimension. The first durometer is greater than at least the second and third durometers. The fourth durometer is greater than at least the second and third durometers. A plurality of parallel longitudinal lumens (166, 168, 176, 178, 192, 193, 197, 199) extends through the body, providing a structure useful in a cholangioscope or other endoscopic applications.
