Estimating the term…
The invention is based on the notion of providing a device for implanting catheters, which has a tube with a wall and a wire. In that case the tube is intended to be introduced into a body so that at least one catheter can be inserted for implantation through the tube. The wall of the tube has an inside surface and an outside surface. The wire is preferably fixed at its first end in the region of the proximal end of the tube to the inside surface or the outside surface of the wall and the wire is guided in the proximity of that surface along the longitudinal direction of the tube from the proximal end of the tube to the distal end thereof and is then returned in the proximity of the respective other surface of the wall along the longitudinal direction from the distal end of the tube to the proximal end thereof.
A device for the implantation of catheters having a tube (2) with an open proximal end and an open distal end and a wall (3) which has an inside surface and an outside surface (4, 5) and encloses a cavity open both at the proximal end and at the distal end, wherein the tube (2) is adapted to be inserted into a body so that a catheter can be introduced for the implantation procedure through the tube (2), and wherein the tube is of a length which is such that the proximal end of the tube (2) remains outside a body of a patient upon insertion of a catheter, characterized by a wire (7) which starting from the proximal end (2b) of the tube (2) extends in the proximity of the inside or outside surface (4, 5) of the wall (3) along the longitudinal direction of the tube (2) to the distal end (2b, 2a) thereof and is guided back in the proximity of the respective other surface (5, 4) along the longitudinal direction from the distal end to the proximal end (2a, 2b) of the tube (2).
