Title:

APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING DELIVERY OF AT LEAST ONE DEVICE TO A TARGET SITE IN A BODY

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2003066124

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

An apparatus (10) for facilitating delivery of at least one device (100) to a target site (14) in a body (16) includes a tubular member (12) having a tubular side wall (40) with an inner surface (44) and an opposite outer surface (46). The inner surface (44) defines an inner lumen (50) of the member (12) extending from a proximal end (30) of the member to a distal end (32) of the member. The member (12) is insertable into the body (16) to position the distal end (32) at a predetermined position relative to the target site. The apparatus (10) also includes at least one port (70) positioned between the inner surface (44) and the outer surface (46). The at least one port (70) extends from the proximal end (30) toward the distal end (32) and exits the side wall (40) at a predetermined position relative to the distal end.
