Abstract
A Rapidly Insertable Central Catheter ('RICC') includes an access section formed of a first material, a catheter body section formed of a second material, and a dilator section disposed therebetween. The first material has a first durometer and the second material has a second, lesser durometer. The dilator section is formed of the first material, the second material, or a third material having a third durometer. The catheter body defines a primary lumen communicating with a primary lumen aperture disposed in a distal tip of the access section, a secondary lumen communicating with a secondary lumen aperture and a tertiary lumen communicating with a tertiary lumen aperture. The secondary lumen aperture and the tertiary lumen aperture can be disposed at an equal longitudinal length from the primary lumen aperture. The RICC can include intricate tip structures formed from different materials and can define a smooth abluminal surface.
