Original Abstract Submitted
Medical devices and related methods are described including a medical device including a tube defining a lumen and configured to couple to a source of suction, and a porous body coupled to a distal end of the tube. The porous body may include openings in fluid communication with the lumen. Upon application of a tension force to the porous body, at least a portion of the porous body may be configured to expand outward in a direction that is at least partially perpendicular to a direction of the tension force.
