Proximally Separable Catheters and Associated Methods

Abstract

A catheter includes a first lumen enclosed by a first outer wall forming a first side of the catheter and a second lumen enclosed by a second outer wall forming a second side of the catheter. Each of the first side and the second side of the catheter can be formed of a first material. The catheter further includes a septum laterally connecting the first side to the second side. The septum can include a wire extending longitudinally parallel to the first lumen and the second lumen. The wire can be urged transversely through the septum to separate the first side of the catheter from the second side of the catheter along a separation length. The separation length can be along a proximal portion. The first side and the second side of the catheter can be trimmed to different lengths and attached to first and second subcutaneous access devices, respectively.
