Claim Text:
1. A fluid delivery device, comprising: a flexible conduit having a proximal end and a distal end; an image viewable zone disposed along an exterior of the flexible conduit at a predetermined location suitable for delivery of a fluid from the device and proximally located with respect to the distal end, the image viewable zone defined by one or more markers viewable in vivo by an imaging device; and a lumen extending along an interior of the flexible conduit providing a fluid flow path between the proximal end and the distal end for a fluid injected into the flexible conduit, the lumen transitioning from a portion having a first cross-sectional flow area into a micro-lumen having a second cross-sectional flow area less than the first cross-sectional flow area, the micro-lumen exiting from the flexible conduit at a port at the image viewable zone, the port configured in such a way as to direct fluid out through the port along a longitudinal length of the flexible conduit and the image viewable zone in a direction primarily parallel with respect to a longitudinal axis of the flexible conduit, the port having a first cross-sectional flow area that is less than a second cross-sectional flow area.
