A loading device for facilitating the loading of a guidewire into a lumen defined by a catheter. A catheter may have a shaft extending from a proximal end to a distal end, defining one or more lumens having one or more catheter ports. A guidewire has a flexible wire-like structure extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The guidewire loading device defines a passage having a first and second loading port. A portion of a catheter may be partially inserted into one of the loading ports, such that a catheter port communicates with the loading device passage. Then, one of the guidewire ends may be inserted into the other loading port. The guidewire may be more easily inserted through the loading device passage, into the catheter port, and thus into the catheter lumen.
