Zusammenfassung:	An adjustable infusion catheter includes a flexible tube containing one or more axial lumens that allows fluid to flow from the proximal end of the catheter to the distal end. A syringe or infusion pump is the usual pressure source for fluid at the proximal end. A plurality of small-diameter holes are provided in a fenestrated area near the distal end of the tube to disperse fluid throughout a targeted region within the patient's body. The length of the fenestrated area of the catheter body is adjusted by a slidable sheath which can be positioned along the length of the fenestrated area so that its exposed length substantially matches the targeted region. The ends of the slidable sheath include a seal portion to prevent leakage around the ends of the sheath. Heat shrinkable plastic material can be used to form the sheath and the end seals.
