Abstract:
A catheter that comprises a hub, an elongated conduit, and at least one lumen therein. The lumen includes a proximal lumen section, a distal lumen section, and an intermediate lumen section extending between the proximal and distal lumen sections. The cross-sectional dimension of the intermediate lumen section is less than the cross-sectional dimension of the distal lumen section. In one embodiment, the cross-sectional dimension of the intermediate lumen section is less than the cross-sectional dimension of the proximal lumen section. In certain embodiments, the lumen tapers from the distal and/or proximal lumen sections to the intermediate lumen section.

Claim (Index 5):
A dual lumen catheter for access to a vascular system, the catheter comprising:\n a proximal end, a distal end, and two lumens therein extending from the proximal end to the distal end; and a proximal section that includes the proximal end, a distal section that includes the distal end, and an intermediate section extending between said proximal and distal sections, each of said proximal, distal, and intermediate sections comprising a wall thickness, the wall thickness of the intermediate section being less than the wall thickness of the distal section, the wall thickness of the intermediate section being less than the wall thickness of the distal end, and the wall thickness of the intermediate section being less than the wall thickness of the proximal section.
