Patent ID: 8496644

Claim:
A method of fixing a catheter within a body cavity comprising: inserting a distal end of a catheter into a body cavity, the catheter including a longitudinal catheter shaft having a distal end, a proximal end, a hollow portion, and a wall portion, a first wire embedded within said wall portion at said distal end wherein said first wire forms a C-curve when in a relaxed state, a second wire embedded opposite to said first wire within said wall portion; wherein said second wire forms a C-curve at a first portion, is substantially straight at a second portion of said second wire, and is exposed at said proximal end of said longitudinal catheter shaft; securing the catheter within the body cavity by twisting said second portion of said second wire so as to allow said first and second wires to form a pigtail curve; and wherein neither said first or second wires are withdrawn substantially backwards along the longitudinal catheter shaft while securing the catheter.
