ABSTRACT:
A multiple lumen, intravenous catheter for hemodialysis or the like defines a distal end portion in which at least a pair of the catheter lumens each communicates with the exterior through aperture means. By this invention the aperture means of one of the lumens defines a first port at essentially the distal catheter end, and the aperture means of the other of the lumens defines a second port spaced proximally along the catheter from the distal end and first port. The second port is positioned to face radially inwardly to at least a slight degree to avoid engagement of the wall of the blood vessel that the catheter occupies. Additionally, the tip of the catheter distal of the second port is preferably of substantially helically shape, being sized to assist in keeping the second port away from the blood vessel wall. As another feature, the catheter may be angled in its as-manufactured, unstressed condition to avoid pressing by elastic memory against internal blood vessel walls. Also, the catheter may define an inflatable balloon positioned between the first and second ports as a means for spacing particularly the second port away from blood vessel walls.
