  • Convection-enhanced delivery catheter with removable stiffening member and method for using same
    Patent number: 10065021
    Abstract: A catheter for delivering an agent to targeted tissue of a mammalian body including a first elongate tubular member having a proximal opening and a distal end wall. A second elongate tubular member having a portion extends through first elongate tubular member and has a distal end extending beyond the end wall. The first and second tubular members form an annular cavity within the first tubular member. A stiffening member has at least a portion disposed within the annular cavity for facilitating accurate placement of the distal end relative to the targeted tissue in the mammalian body and is removeable from the annular cavity after such placement without removal of the second elongate tubular member from the mammalian body. A method is provided.
