Zusammenfassung:A cannula (600) for transferring a substance to and/or from a patient, the cannula comprises a rigid, tubular support sleeve (610) defining a support sleeve lumen extending from a first opening at a proximal end of the support sleeve to a second opening at a distal end of the support sleeve. The support sleeve (610) comprises a rigid, MRI-compatible material. A transfer tube (630) is disposed in the support sleeve lumen and extends beyond the distal end of the support sleeve to a distal end of the transfer tube. The transfer tube (630) defines a transfer tube lumen terminating at an opening at the distal end of the transfer tube. A conformal polymeric sleeve (640) surrounds at least a portion of the support sleeve (610) and at least a portion of the transfer tube (630). The conformal polymeric sleeve (640) includes a transitional section (644) extending from the distal end of the support sleeve (610) and over the transfer tube (630) in a direction toward the distal end of the transfer tube. The transitional section (644) tapers inwardly in the direction toward the distal end of the transfer tube (630).
