Abstract

Novel and unique medical devices and associated methods are disclosed, for a medical device for puncturing tissue at a tissue site. The medical device includes an elongate member having a distal section defining a distal section curved portion and a distal section straight portion. The distal section straight portion is distal to the distal section curved portion. An active tip is located at a distal end of the distal section. The active tip is operable to deliver energy to create a puncture through the tissue. The medical device includes a constant diameter layer. The distal section straight portion includes a minimum diameter portion located proximal to a constant diameter portion, and the constant diameter layer surrounds the minimum diameter portion.
