摘要

The guidewire inserter (1) is a tubular member (2) having therein a bore (22) for passage of a guidewire. The tubular member has a slit (3) cutting across the wall thereof over the total length thereof. The tubular member has at the proximal end thereof an aperture (4), which results from the slit expanding toward the proximal end. The tubular member has at the proximal end of the aperture an open part and a connecting part adjacent thereto for the holder tube. There are a pair of wing-like protruded pieces projecting in the mutually opposite directions at both sides of the open part. The distal end (25) of the tubular member has on its outer surface a pair of protruded rims, which project in the mutually opposite directions with respect to the central axis of the tubular member.
