Abstract
Catheter (1), comprising a catheter body (2), the inner volume of which forms a first catheter channel (4), which serves to accommodate a guide wire (15) during the introduction of the catheter into the body of a patient, with at least one separating wall (5), arranged therewithin, which divides off at least one further catheter chamber (6) in the interior. According to the invention, a catheter chamber with the largest possible cross-sectional area with a given external diameter may be provided, whereby the catheter body (2) has a tubular outer wall (3), the cross-sectional area (F2) of the further catheter chamber (6) is smaller than the cross-sectional area (F1) of the first catheter chamber (4) and the further catheter chamber (6) is arranged such as to comprise a wall section which is part of the tubular outer wall (3).
