Abstract
Catheter management system including a housing having a proximal end, a distal end and a chamber extending therethrough. A side port extends from the housing. A proximal fitting couples to the side port. A distal fitting is provided for coupling the chamber in fluid communication with a guide catheter. A releasable seal is positioned within the distal fitting for sealing about a device passing therethrough. A catheter storage mechanism is located at the housing proximal end in communication with the chamber.
