Abstract
This invention is directed to a method of bonding thermoplastic catheter parts to a metallic member such as hypotubing and the product formed. The polymeric material is hot pressed against the metallic member with sufficient pressure to ensure plastic deformation of the polymeric material. A fluid tight bond is formed which can withstand pressures of up to 650 psi.
