Abstract: An elongate medical device is provided. The device includes an elongate member defining a lumen through proximal, central, and distal portions. The central portion of the elongate member is defined from a plurality of closely aligned coils that establish the lumen within the central portion. The central portion further comprises a jacket disposed around a majority of an outer circumference of the plurality of coils, the jacket defining opposing first and second longitudinal edges that extend along the length of the central portion, and an elongate gap between opposing first and second longitudinal edges exposing portions of each of the plurality of coils aligned therewith, wherein the elongate gap allows for fluid communication from within or into the lumen through spaces between neighboring coils and through the elongate gap.

Abstract: A removable clip for connection with a catheter for a remote surgical procedure is provided. The clip includes a body and an arcuate concave surface configured to rest upon a central portion of the body and opposed first and second legs that each extend therefrom. A ramp surface extends from the body portion, the ramp surface with a portion that extends at an acute angle with respect to a longitudinal axis through the concave surface. A portion of the ramp surface is configured to extend within an aperture within a side wall of a catheter when the clip is fixed to the side wall of the catheter.

Abstract: A system may include a catheter and a support cannula within the catheter. The catheter may include a tapered tip and a body extending proximally therefrom. The catheter tip may have a smaller inner diameter than the catheter body. The support cannula may include a tip disposed within the catheter tip such that the support cannula tip does not extend distally beyond the catheter distal end and a support segment extending proximally from the support cannula tip and disposed within the catheter body such that the catheter body remains in a non-stretched configuration. An outer diameter of the cannula tip may correspond to the inner diameter of the catheter tip. An outer diameter of the support segment may correspond to the inner diameter of the catheter body. The support segment may extend proximally to at least a proximal end of a perforated segment of the catheter body.

Abstract: A stent includes a first coiled wire, which forms a first lumen defined by an inner surface. The stent further includes a second coiled wire with an outer surface. The second coiled wire forms a second lumen, is disposed within the first lumen of the first coiled wire, and is secured to the first coiled wire such that substantially the entire outer surface of the second coiled wire contacts substantially the entire inner surface of the first coiled wire. The first and second coiled wires are aligned with respect to each other. The stent further includes apertures passing through each of the first and second coiled wires and into the second lumen. The apertures are located within distal end portions, proximal end portions, and central portions of the first and second coiled wires.
