The central portion of the elongate member is defined from a plurality of closely aligned coils that establish the lumen within the central portion. The central portion further comprises a jacket disposed around a majority of an outer circumference of the plurality of coils, the jacket defining opposing first and second longitudinal edges that extend along the length of the central portion, and an elongate gap between opposing first and second longitudinal edges exposing portions of each of the plurality of coils aligned therewith, wherein the elongate gap allows for fluid communication from within or into the lumen through spaces between neighboring coils and through the elongate gap. |
