    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems for aspirating, irrigating, and/or mechanically disrupting body cavities, such as abdominal abscesses, empyemas, and/or (e.g., complicated) pleural effusions, and associated devices and methods. In some embodiments, an aspiration and irrigation system includes an inner catheter defining an aspiration lumen and an outer tube positioned coaxially around the inner catheter and defining an irrigation lumen. A distal portion of the outer tube can be bonded to the inner catheter, and a plurality of apertures can be formed through the outer tube proximal of the bond. The aspiration lumen can be fluidly coupled to an aspiration circuit configured to aspirate through the aspiration lumen, and the irrigation lumen can be fluidly coupled to an irrigation circuit configured to flow an irrigation fluid through the irrigation lumen and out of the apertures.
