Abstract
An introducer assembly includes a plurality of selectable side holes through which a fluid can be delivered. In some examples, an introducer assembly includes an outer elongated body defining a plurality of outer body side holes and an inner elongated body defining a plurality of inner body side holes. The inner elongated body is configured to rotate relative to the outer elongated body between a first rotational orientation in which a first subset of outer body side holes aligns with a first subset of inner body side holes and the inner elongated body blocks fluid flow out of the outer elongated body through a second subset of outer body side holes, and a second rotational orientation in which the second subset of outer body side holes aligns with a second subset of inner body side holes and inner elongated body blocks fluid the first subset of outer body side holes.
