摘要： Disclosed embodiments include flexible tube assemblies, flexible needle assemblies, systems, methods of fabricating a flexible tube, and methods of fabricating a flexible needle. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a flexible tube assembly includes: a flexible tube having a proximal end with a proximal strain relief section and a distal end with a distal strain relief section, the proximal strain relief section being located between the proximal end and the distal strain relief section and the distal strain relief section being located between the distal end and the proximal strain relief section, the distal end defining an opening therein, at least a portion of at least one of the proximal strain relief section and the distal strain relief section defining therein a spiral cut with a continuously variable pitch; and tubing disposed in an airtight manner over an exterior surface of the flexible tube at least the portion of the at least one of the proximal strain relief section and the distal strain relief section defining therein the spiral cut with a continuously variable pitch.

摘要： An example medical instrument for creating tracks within target tissue. Medicants could be injected into these tracks for diffusion into the surrounding tissue. An exemplary medical device includes a first tissue penetrating device, a second tissue penetrating device and a handle. The handle includes a first component connected to the first tissue penetrating device and a second component connected to the second tissue penetrating device. When the second component is at a first position relative to the first component, the second tissue penetrating device is in a non-track creation configuration. When the second component is at a second position relative to the first component, the second tissue penetrating device is in a track creation configuration. The second tissue penetrating device is slidably received within the first tissue penetrating device.

摘要： The present teachings relate generally to a medical flexible needle assembly (10), comprising a needle portion (20) disposed at a distal end (12) of the assembly; a stiff portion (30) disposed at a proximal end 14 of the assembly; an flexible portion disposed between and interconnecting the needle portion and the stiff portion, including a flex distal portion (42), a flex proximal portion (44); and a jacketing member (50) disposed about the assembly (10) over at least part of the flexible portion (40); characterized in that the jacketing member (50) includes one or more coupled regions (60) and one or more decoupled region (70), wherein in at least one or more of the one or more coupled regions (60) are located proximally, distally, or both of the flexible portion (40).
