ABSTRACT:
A double-current catheter having an elongated cylindrical tube for injection and removal of fluid is provided with a smooth conical tapered tip that smoothly merges with the cylindrical surface of the tube so that insertion trauma and the possibility of kinking are minimized. To provide improved dilator characteristics, preferably the tip includes a relative concentration of material for rigidity, the conical taper is gradual and the apex of the conical tip is substantially centered on the axis of the cylindrical tube. To promote fluid flow, the cylindrical tube preferably includes an internal planar divider defining two "D" shaped lumens. A first lumen extends from the proximal end of the cylindrical tube to a first opening at the distal end, and the second lumen extends from the proximal end to a side opening in the cylindrical surface of the tube. Preferably additional side holes for the lumens are provided to enhance fluid flow.
