Abstract:
1. A medical device comprising: a proximal end and a distal end; a proximal portion having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a first axial length, the inner surface defining a proximal passageway extending through the proximal portion; a distal portion having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a second axial length, the outer surface of the distal portion defining an atraumatic distal tip, the inner surface of the distal portion defining a distal passageway extending through the distal portion; and an elongate body attached to and extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the elongate body having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a third axial length, the outer surface of the elongate body defining a thread extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion, the inner surface of the elongate body defining a main passageway in communication with the proximal passageway and the distal passageway; wherein the first axial length extends from the proximal end of the medical device to the elongate body, the second axial length extends from the elongate body to the distal end of the medical device, and the third axial length extends from the proximal portion to the distal portion; and wherein the third axial length is greater than the first axial length and the second axial length.
