A catheter (1) includes an inner layer (24), a braid (26), an outer layer (28), and a distal tip (12). A recessed region (100) having a first side (101) and a second side (102) is formed in a distal end portion (27) of the braid (26), the first side being longer than the sum of a wire width (X1) of a first wire (26a) and a distance (X2) between two adjacent first wires, the second side being longer than the sum of a wire width (Y1) of a second wire (26b) and a distance (Y2) between two adjacent second wires. The distal tip (12) is bonded to the inner layer (24) in the recessed region (100). By providing the recessed region (100), the number of peaks (30) formed in the distal end portion (27) of the braid (26) is made smaller than that in the existing case.
