Abstract
A device for holding and guiding a guide wire in a catheter. The device can be secured releasably to the guide wire, having a proximal end and a distal end, and having a recess that is continuous from the proximal end to the distal end of the device. The guide wire passes through the recess in order to introduce the catheter into a vessel or a body cavity of a patient. The device releasably secures the catheter, so that a common motion of the guide wire and catheter, in a previously defined position of the guide wire relative to the catheter, can be performed by the device.
