Abstract
A catheter is comprised of a flexible cylindrical tube defining a proximal portion and a distal portion terminating in a distal tip. The tube has a plurality of openings formed therethrough to form a diffusion area. The catheter includes a conductive end cap enclosing a distal tip. A flexible conductive member is attached to the conductive end cap and extends to the proximal portion where it is attached to the inside diameter of the flexible tube. The member is movable within the tube. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be relied upon in construing the claims.
