The catheter can have various sections of different flexibility extending distally along the length of the catheter. The catheter can have four layers along a proximal portion, and three layers along a distal portion. In some embodiments, the layers can comprise at least a stainless steel coil and a stainless steel braid. The catheter can exhibit both flexibility as well as kink resistance.
