A medical catheter comprising a proximal end having an opening for fluid
containing a therapeutic drug, a distal end, the distal end defining at
least one opening, and a porous portion covering the opening defined by
the distal end. In one embodiment, the medical catheter comprises a
proximal end having an opening for fluid containing a therapeutic drug,
at least two distal ends, the proximal end connected to the two distal
ends with a connector, the distal ends each defining at least one
opening, a diffuser covering the opening of each distal end, and a
separate restrictor downstream of the connector and upstream of each
distal end to provide substantially equal flow through each distal end.
An additional restrictor can also be placed upstream of the connector. In
another embodiment, a combination diffuser and restrictor covers the
opening of each distal end. In one embodiment, the diffuser can define
tubes that extend from the inside surface of the diffuser to the outside
surface of the diffuser, to permit more equal drug flow through the tubes
defined therein.
