A medical device for placement of regional anesthesia catheters. The device comprises a hollow shaft needle, a plunger attached to the posterior end of the needle, a housing dimensioned so that plunger can slide inside the housing with friction, a regional anesthesia catheter preloaded inside the needle, a protective cover sheath covering the catheter, and a catheter adaptor attached to posterior end of the sheath and the catheter. The medical device allows a practitioner to quickly and effectively place a regional anesthesia catheter inside an organism without the use of an assistant, and with minimal risk of contaminating the catheter before it enters the organism's body. At the end, the needle is withdrawn inside the housing and disposed. |
