Medical device that reduces friction between two contacting components

Abstract

A medical device configured to create a lubricating barrier between two surfaces to reduce frictional forces, which may facilitate movement of an elongated member with respect to a device. In some examples, a medical device may include an elongated member including a sidewall defining a lumen, where the elongated member includes a perforated section with a plurality of holes that extend through the sidewall. A device may include a connector configured to connect an open end of the lumen to a fluid transfer device to receive lubricating fluid.
