Abstract

A catheter system (1) which is useable as a part of a delivery kit for introducing objects (8) into the living body is provided which has a very high flexibility with simultaneous kink resistance and via which compressive as well as tensile forces are reliably transmittable. It comprises at least one longitudinally extended inner catheter (4) and at least one accessory component (6, 10) which is arranged in the distal end region of the inner catheter (4), wherein the end-face is abutted on at least a portion of the accessory component (10) such that movement of the accessory component (10) relative to the longitudinal extent of the inner catheter (4) is prevented.
