Zusammenfassung:	The systems and devices disclosed herein are for a catheter tip that includes a support frame. The support frame can include a longitudinal axis, a collapsed delivery configuration, and an expanded deployed configuration. The support frame can include a collapsed inner diameter in the collapsed delivery configuration and a larger expanded inner diameter in the expanded deployed configuration when the support frame is placed in axial compression. In some examples, the support frame can include one or more profiled spine members extending along the longitudinal axis and a plurality of ribs extending from the one or more profiled spine members. In some examples, the support frame can include a connector rib and a plurality of offset ribs extending from the connector rib. One or more connector members can connect respective ribs of the offset ribs. In some examples, the support frame can include struts forming a lattice structure.
