A method of making a flexible, durable catheter tip is achieved by providing a catheter tip, and in some embodiments, applying heat energy only to the distal portion of a catheter tip. In other embodiments, the method includes ablating a portion of the outer diameter of the proximal region material. In at least one embodiment, the method includes manufacturing a catheter tip with a layer of a harder material disposed about a first layer of a relatively softer material and then ablating at least a portion of the harder material. In some embodiments, the method includes dipping at least a portion of the distal region of the catheter tip into a chemical bath. In some embodiments, the method includes providing a catheter tip made of a tip material, adding a curable adhesive to at least a portion of the distal region, and then applying heat energy to cure the curable adhesive.
