Abstract
An access device including a lumen-defining device defining a lumen extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a support member disposed within the lumen of the lumen-defining device, and a hub configured to be coupled to the lumen-defining device and the support member. The support member and the lumen-defining device are flexible. When the lumen-defining device and the support member are bent, the support member supports at least a portion of the lumen-defining device without occluding or blocking the entire lumen and/or the support member is transitionable from a first configuration in which a proximal end portion of the support member extends in a first direction to a second configuration in which the proximal end portion extends in a second direction.
