In certain aspects, needle assemblies comprising a needle having a needle shaft with one or more side openings and a needle sheath slidably moveable along the needle shaft to selectively expose or cover all or a portion of the one or more side openings are provided. Such assemblies may include an interference fit between the needle sheath and the needle shaft and/or a seal positioned around the needle shaft proximal of the plurality of one or more side openings and configured to prevent fluid from leaking between the needle sheath and the needle shaft and beyond a proximal end of the needle sheath.
