A multi-station hydrodynamic catheter includes an outer catheter having a first lumen, the outer catheter having a plurality of orifice stations positioned along a portion of the outer catheter, where each orifice station includes one or more orifices extending from an outer catheter external surface to the first lumen. The multi-station hydrodynamic catheter includes an inner catheter having a second lumen, the inner catheter movable within the first lumen and includes at least one emanator, where the at least one emanator includes one or more fluid delivery ports extending from an inner catheter external surface to the second lumen.

Catheter system

A catheter includes a pressure actuated seal within a manifold. A catheter body is coupled with the manifold, and a manifold lumen and a catheter lumen are configured to receive pressurized fluids. The pressure actuated seal includes a pressure actuated seal element having a seal element lumen. The seal element lumen is in communication with the manifold and catheter lumens. The pressure actuated seal element is deformable between an open configuration and a sealed configuration. In the sealed configuration, the pressurized fluids in the manifold press on the pressure actuated seal element along a first seal face. The pressure actuated seal element compresses inwardly around the seal element lumen according to a pressure of the pressurized fluids. In the open configuration, the pressure actuated seal element relaxes in an absence of the pressurized fluids, and the seal element lumen is open and configured to allow passage of an instrument.
