摘要:A drainage catheter (10) is adapted to drain fluid from the body cavity througha body conduit and includes an elongate tube (34) having a distal end and a retentionmember (36) disposed at the distal end and adapted for movement between the low-profile state facilitating insertion of the catheter and a high-profile state facilitating thetension of the catheter (10) in its operative position. A woven mesh forms at least aportion of one of the tube and the retention member, and can be made permeable orimpermeable in various regions of the catheter. The woven mesh (38) can be formed offilaments heat-settable so that the catheter automatically moves to the high-profilestate. Insertion of the catheter (10) can be facilitated using an obturator (121) and aguidewire (127) in an associated method, an obturator (121) facilitating insertion of thecatheter (10) can be removed to permit the catheter (10) to automatically return to anormal, high-profile state.
