ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for inserting a multiple catheter assembly into an area of a body to be catheterized through a single incision. Two independent catheters which are independently movable with respect to each other, or unattached to each other, along their entire length are inserted into the single incision. In use, the first catheter withdraws fluid from the area and the second catheter delivers fluid to the area. As part of the insertion method, the longitudinal distance between proximal portions of the two catheters are adjusted to provide a predetermined longitudinal distance between distal portions of the two catheters within the area.
