Medical device with elastomeric bulb

A medical device which is a drainage catheter (10) having a proximal end (22) and a distal end (23) and first and second lumens extending therebetween, the first lumen serving as a drainage lumen and having a fluid inflow port at its distal end and a fluid drain coupling at its proximal end, the second lumen serving to convey inflating fluid from a fluid supply element (21) at its proximal end to a fluid acceptor balloon

• (20) at its distal end, with the fluid supply element
• (21) and the fluid drain coupling arranged side by side at the proximal end of the lumen
• characterised by
• a sleeve which extends around both the fluid drain coupling and the fluid supply element.

Method of positioning a plug within a lumen of a medical device, the method comprising the steps of:

• i. providing the plug with an annular portion and a stem, co-axial with the annular portion and having a diameter substantially less than that of the annular portion, the annular portion sealing with the lumen wall;
• ii. presenting an open end of the lumen, for receipt of said plug;
• iii. engaging the stem of the plug with an injector rod;
• iv. advancing the injector rod into the lumen open end and along the lumen to the desired position within the lumen.
