Claim:
1. A medical device comprising: a tubular member configured to have a distal end residing interiorly of the body of a patient and a proximal end extending exteriorly of the body of the patient, the tubular member having a lumen formed therein extending between an opening at said distal end and said proximal end, a first passageway extending along said tubular member extending between a distal end in fluid communication with the lumen and a proximal end extending exteriorly of the body, a second passageway extending along said tubular member extending between a distal end located distal to the distal end of the first passageway and a proximal end extending exteriorly of the body, and an occlusion member associated with the distal end of the second passageway, wherein the occlusion member is movable between an occluded configuration and a non-occluded configuration for selectively occluding the lumen of the tubular member; wherein the occlusion member, while in both the occluded configuration and the non-occluded configuration, is positioned about an entire circumference of the tubular member, so that when the occlusion member in the non-occluded configuration, the lumen of the tubular member thereby extends axially through the occlusion member; and wherein the occlusion member, when moving to the occluded configuration, is movable radially inward about the entire circumference of the tubular member to form a seal within the lumen of the tubular member by a first portion of the occlusion member pressing against a second portion of the occlusion member.
