Abstract:
A medical introducer includes an elongated tubular member having a proximal end, a distal portion, and a central lumen extending from the proximal end to a distal port in the distal portion. A frame structure is coupled to the distal portion of the elongated tubular member, where frame structure supports the distal portion of the elongated tubular member in a tapered shape and alternatively in a non-tapered shape. The elongated tubular member may include a rigid outer tube and a rigid inner tube carried in an interior lumen of the outer tube. The distal portion is typically a reinforced elastomeric tubular extension of the outer tube, and the reinforced elastomeric tubular extension may have a conical shape.

Claim (Index 15):
The medical device of  claim 10 , wherein an annular space between an inner surface of the outer tube and an outer surface of the inner tube of the elongated tubular member is configured to be connected to a negative pressure source, wherein the outer tube is perforated.
