Abstract

See full text

A vascular catheter includes an elongate catheter tube having proximal and distal ends as well as a lumen extending between said ends. A catheter housing secured to the distal end of the catheter tube is covered by an elastic sheath. A vent path formed in the catheter tube housing is normally blocked by the sheath, but fluid being fed into the catheter lumen may be flushed through the housing by employing a sufficiently high pressure.
