Abstract
In the present disclosure, embodiments include flaring tip microcatheters, methods of deploying flaring tip microcatheters, and embolization treatment methods. The flaring tip microcatheter may include a hollow shaft having a shaft lumen defined therein, a core disposed within the shaft lumen, and a tip including at least two petals affixed to a distal end of the core, the at least two petals including at least two wires wherein the core is hollow and defines a core lumen. The at least two wires may be configured to pull the at least two petals to form a flared configuration of the tip. The flared configuration of the tip may allow for laminar flow of a therapeutic agent distally from the tip.
