A catheter that can be used for concurrent fluid infusion and aspiration in humans, animals and biological material, at a wide range of flow rates, without any blockage problems. The catheter is composed of two concentric tubes; their proximal ends are properly connected to the infusion equipment and the aspiration equipment respectively; the distal end of the catheter is covered by a filter or membrane or grid or mesh cage and contains a hydrodynamically moving device of concurrent infusion and aspiration. The inner tube is properly assembled to the moving infusion and aspiration device, which irrigates the space surrounding the catheter's tip, through the filter or membrane or grid or mesh cage cover preserving its permeability, while it helps, due to its motion, the aspiration through the outer tube. |
