Abstract
Medical guidewires and catheters include tubular bodies having coils at their distal ends to permit steering through the vasculature. The guidewires and catheters are useful for delivering fluids to a target site, draining body fluids from a target site, and are particularly useful for the infusion of medicaments to sites within the body.
