A device comprising:
- a catheter including a proximal end and a distal end and defining a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end, the catheter including a plurality of openings extending from the lumen through a wall of the catheter;
- a needle including a connection element configured to couple the needle to the distal end of the catheter;
- and
- a connector coupled to the proximal end of the catheter and including a clamp configured to close over a portion of the catheter to compress the lumen to prevent fluid flow;
- wherein:
- (a) the needle includes a tip, a cutting blade, and a body portion extending between the tip and the cutting blade;
- (b) the cutting blade comprises first and second sharpened edges that extend outward and away from the body portion;
- (c) the first and second sharpened edges taper outwardly away from the body portion as the first and second sharpened edges extend proximally and away from the tip;
- and (d) at least a portion of the connection element is included within a distal portion of the lumen.
