A catheter comprises a catheter body having a wall defining a lumen therein and having plural holes defined through the wall in a pattern which prevents loculation, migration and blockage of a fluid flow through the lumen, the catheter body having a tissue-puncture resistant shape; and a port having a reservoir capable of multiple needle accesses. The catheter is useful for draining fluids from a patient's body cavity, for example the peritoneal cavity.
