1. A catheter assembly comprising:
- a manifold, the manifold being positioned at a proximal end of the catheter assembly;
a tether member, the tether member having a proximal end region and a distal end region, at least a portion of the proximal end region being fixedly engaged to a portion of the manifold;
a proximal tubular member, the proximal tubular member having a first end region and a second end region, at least a portion of the first end region being engaged to the manifold, the proximal tubular member being disposed about at least a portion of the tether member, at least a portion of the tether member distal of the manifold being fixedly engaged to at least a portion of the proximal tubular member.

Abstract
A catheter assembly comprises a manifold positioned at a proximal end of the catheter assembly. A tether member has a proximal end region fixedly engaged to a portion of the manifold. A proximal tubular member has a first end region engaged to the manifold. The proximal tubular member is disposed about at least a portion of the tether member. At least a portion of the tether member distal of the manifold is fixedly engaged to at least a portion of the proximal tubular member.
