Abstract
Disclosed herein is a guide wire insertion device for a catheter procedure. The guide wire insertion device for a catheter procedure includes an injection unit (100) including an injection needle, and a guide wire transfer unit (200) which transfers a guide wire so as to insert the guide wire through the injection needle, and the injection unit and the guide wire transfer unit are integrated with each other so as to continuously perform injection of the injection needle and transfer of the guide wire. According to such a configuration, the injection of the injection needle and the insertion of the guide wire may be accurately and easily performed so that a catheter procedure is convenient.
Claims5
A guide wire insertion device for a catheter procedure, comprising:
- an injection unit comprising an injection needle, a cylinder body which is disposed at one side of the injection needle, a piston which is slidably coupled within the cylinder body, and a connection tube portion which connects the cylinder body and the injection needle;
- and
- a guide wire transfer unit, having an upper side and a lower side opposite from the upper side, which transfers a guide wire so as to insert the guide wire through the injection needle of the injection unit and comprises a housing formed with a support portion for supporting the injection unit,
- wherein the support portion supports the injection unit such that the injection unit is located at the upper side of the guide wire transfer unit so that the injection unit and the guide wire transfer unit are integrated with each other in the form of a hand gun with the guide wire transfer unit adapted to be grasped as a handle by an operator so as to continuously perform injection of the injection needle and transfer of the guide wire with one hand;
- wherein the piston is provided, at an end thereof, with a sliding portion which slides along the upper side portion of the guide wire transfer unit according to movement of the piston:
- and
- wherein an injection handle is provided outside and offset from the sliding portion located such that the operator collects blood through the injection needle with the one hand by adjusting the injection handle and thereby the sliding portion and piston while grasping the guide wire transfer unit and controlling transfer of the guide wire with the one hand,
- wherein the guide wire transfer unit comprises:
- a driving roll which is rotatably installed within the housing to come into contact with the guide wire:
- a transfer roller which transfers the guide wire by rotating the guide wire in a state of pressing the guide wire against the driving roller:
- a driving source installed in the housing to drive the driving roller;
- and
- a transfer roller separation means which selectively separates the transfer roller from the driving roller so that the guide wire is freely transferred or prepared for transfer;
- and
- further wherein:
- the driving source is a spiral torsion spring coupled to the driving roller;
- and
- the housing is equipped with a loading knob for rotation of the driving roller so as to apply torsional force to the spiral torsion spring while being equipped with a trigger so as to maintain the torsional force by catching the loading knob or to rotate the driving roller by the spiral torsion spring by releasing the caught loading knob.
