Abstract:
Catheter having a first elongate tubular body having a lumen, a second elongate tubular body having a lumen, and an elongate member. The elongate member joins the first and second elongate tubular bodies. The first tubular body is fixedly attached on the distal portion of the elongate member, and the second elongate tubular body is disposed on the elongate member is slidable along a portion of the elongate member. The second elongate tubular body can be in a first position so that the first and second tubular bodies are not adjacent to each other and can be in a second position so that the first and second tubular bodies are adjacent to each other. The catheter may have a locking mechanism that can lock the first and second elongate tubular bodies to each other so that the lumens of the first and second elongate tubular bodies form one continuous lumen.
