Abstract
Catheters are disclosed for insertion into a body cavity. The catheters include a region near the distal end of the catheter which includes a number of apertures as well as a reduced diameter portion which has a diameter less than the diameter of the rest of the catheter region so that the flow of a fluid through the reduced diameter portion is reduced thereby.
