A resin composition containing: a melt-fabricable fluororesin containing at least one functional group selected from a carbonyl group-containing group and a hydroxy group; at least one fluorine-free resin selected from a liquid crystal polymer, a polyarylene sulfide, and an aromatic polyether ketone; and particulate boron nitride, wherein the particulate boron nitride is contained in an amount of 30 to 65% by volume.

A steerable catheter may include an elongate shaft member and a braided reinforcement structure embedded into a wall of the elongate shaft member. The braided reinforcement structure may include a first braided portion including a first pick count, a second braided portion including a second pick count, and a third braided portion including a third pick count. The third pick count may be greater than each of the first pick count and the second pick count.
