CATHETER INTRODUCER SYSTEM

摘要

An introducer system including an introducer with a tubular body provided with first and second lumens and a molded handle coupled to the proximal end of the tubular body. The handle has a proximal opening aligned with the first lumen of the tubular body and has a wall adjacent the proximal opening of the handle which defines a slot located diametrically opposite the second lumen of the tube. A tubular reinforcement member is located within the second lumen of the tube and the handle is also provided with a second opening, open to the second lumen of the tube. The tubular reinforcement member may be a coil or a braid. A curvable stylet may be placed in the second lumen to impart a curve to the tubular body.
