1. Positioning apparatus for a medical catheter (14) to be positioned in a body opening or body cavity of an individual, comprising
an elongated tubular or hose-shaped catheter accommodation member (11), by one end of which the catheter (14) to be positioned can be accommodated, an elongated catheter release member (10) accommodated within or outside of the catheter accommodation member (11) and displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the latter, and a movement mechanism provided between the catheter accommodation member (11) and the catheter release member (10), having a movement conversion device (2 to 9, 12) by means of which the catheter accommodation member (11), with the catheter (14) accommodated by it, and the catheter release element (10) can be displaced relative to one another in a longitudinal apparatus direction, with release of the catheter (14) from the catheter accommodation member (11), wherein the movement conversion device (2 to 9, 12) has an activation member (4, 5) by means of which a transversal movement or a pivoting movement exerted transverse to the said longitudinal apparatus direction can be converted into a longitudinal movement that runs in the said longitudinal apparatus direction. |
