Embodiment Construction
[0030]Referring to FIGS. 1A-1C, an exemplary catheter 100 is composed generally of a catheter body 102 and a VCF 104 disposed generally concentric relative to the catheter body 102. An outer sheath 106 is concentrically disposed over the catheter body 102 such that relative axial movement of the catheter body 102 and the outer sheath 106 either captures the VCF 104 within the outer sheath 106 or exposes the VCF 104, as illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B, respectively.
[0031]As used in this application, unless otherwise specifically stated, the terms “proximal” and “distal” are intended to refer to positions relative to the longitudinal axis of the catheter body 102. Those skilled in the art will understand that the catheter body 102 has a distal end which is first inserted into the patient and a proximal end which is opposite the distal end. Additionally, the terms “inferior” or “inferiorly” are intended to refer to the anatomic orientation of being in a direction away from the patient's...
