Disclosed herein is a catheter defining a first lumen and a second lumen. A proximal portion of the catheter can be configured to separate along a longitudinal axis to allow a proximal portion of the first lumen to be trimmed to a different length than a proximal portion of the second lumen. The catheter can include a septum disposed laterally between the first lumen and the second lumen configured to facilitate separation of the first lumen from the second lumen. The septum can include grooves, perforations, and can be formed of different materials to facilitate separation. Further the septum can include a wire configured to facilitate separation of the first lumen from the second lumen. Separation and/or trimming of the lumens positions the subcutaneous access ports in a spaced apart relationship to differentiate between infusion and aspiration lumens of the catheter.
A method of placing a catheter system, comprising:
