Abstract:
1. An apparatus for applying a spray to a selected site on a patient comprising: an outer sheath for positioning through a surgical access port, the outer sheath having a through bore extending from a proximal end to a distal end along an axis thereof; and a catheter positioned through the through bore of the outer sheath, the catheter being slidable and rotatable within the outer sheath, the catheter comprising: wherein the rigid inner sheath is configured to maintain at least a proximal portion of the multi-lumen tube in a straight configuration and distal movement of the outer sheath relative to the multi-lumen tube transitions the pre-shaped distal end portion of the multi-lumen tube from a curved configuration to a straight configuration; and wherein the spray nozzle has a diameter that is greater than a diameter of the through bore in the outer sheath which prevents the spray nozzle from entering the through bore of the outer sheath and which prevents blockage of the through bore in the outer sheath.
