Original Abstract Submitted

A medical device is provided. The medical device includes a multi-lumen catheter. The device also includes an incision device operably coupled to the distal end of the multi-lumen catheter. The incision device includes an incision channel defined along the incision device. The device further includes one or more suction devices adjacent to the incision channel. The device still further includes a cutting surface disposed within the incision channel. The cutting surface is structured to move between a retracted position and a deployed position. In an instance in which the cutting surface is in the retracted position, the cutting surface is disposed within the incision channel. In an instance in which the cutting surface is in the deployed position, the cutting surface at least partially protrudes from the incision channel.
