Real-time sampling device

Abstract

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative apparatuses and systems for performing multi-lumen catheter functions and methods for making the apparatuses. An illustrative apparatus includes a multi-lumen sheath, a cap having a proximal end attachable to a distal end of the multi-lumen sheath, and a liner. The cap includes a ramp section having a ramp and an exit port and an imaging section disposed distally from the ramp section. The ramp allows travel of a medical device from within the liner to the exit port. The distal ramp section extends distally from the flexible proximal section and is received by the ramp of the ramp section. The distal ramp section has a curved portion. The cap includes a socket for receiving a tab of the distal ramp section. The curved portion includes bending relief features.
