Abstract:

A balloon-retention catheter for insertion into a chamber of a living being. The catheter includes a length of catheter tubing having an inflatable balloon immediately behind the distal end. Within the tubing is a fluid lumen, a balloon inflation lumen, and a third lumen to accommodate an endoscope whose distal end projects beyond the distal end of the catheter tubing. Accommodation of an endoscope permits required longevity of use of the catheter without its removal and reintroduction each time a visual inspection is indicated.
