Abstract
A medical device includes a sheath having a proximal end, a distal end, and at least one lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and a balloon at the distal end of the sheath and having an inflated configuration and a deflated configuration. The balloon defines at least one space radially inward of an exterior surface of the balloon, the at least one space configured to retain a material, and the transition of the balloon from the deflated configuration to the inflated configuration delivers the material from the at least one space to a target site in a body.
