See full text

A medical device includes a medical device flexible conduit that has an elongated Nitinol strip with a distal end, a proximal end, a longitudinal axis running from the distal end to the proximal end, a sharp head extending from the distal end, and a channel etched therein. Moreover, the channel is dispositioned along the longitudinal axis. The medical device flexible conduit also has a flexible tube at least partially jacketing the elongated Nitinol strip between the distal end and the proximal end, with the channel and the flexible tube defining a conduit. The medical device also includes an insertion mechanism configured to insert a portion of the flexible conduit, including the sharp head, into a user's target site such that the conduit provides fluid communication to the target site.
