A single lumen catheter includes a catheter tube and an overmolded tip. The catheter is fabricated by skiving a portion of the distal end of a tube. The distal end is then inserted in a mold and molten polyurethane or silicone, for example, is injected into the mold. The configuration of the tip and its relation to the tube creates an impediment to kinking of the tip or the tube where it joins the tip.
