Abstract:
Medical devices including a balloon-actuated sheath are provided. The medical devices include a tubular body, a tooltip, a balloon, and a tubular sheath translatably coupled to the balloon. Medical devices including a balloon-actuated distal cap are provided. The medical devices include a tubular body, a tooltip, a balloon, and a distal cap translatably coupled to the balloon. When air is pushed into one end of the medical device, the balloon may inflate, translating the tubular sheath or distal cap along a longitudinal axis from a retracted position to an extended position. When in the extended position, the tubular sheath at least partially surrounds the tooltip. When in the extended position, the distal cap at least partially opens fluid communication between the tooltip and the environment.
