Description
CATHETER INTRODUCTION SET
Field of The Invention
This invention relates to the introduction of catheters and more particularly to apparatus and method providing for improvements in reliability in the intro¬ duction of catheters into small diameter blood vessels.
Background of The Invention
In accordance with the usual known prior art practice, in introducing a catheter into the lumen of a blood vessel, a hollow needle called an introducer needle is first inserted into the vessel. When the needle is properly positioned, a spring-wire guide is fed through the needle and advanced until the desired length of wire guide is within the vessel so as to provide a positive track for a catheter to follow. The catheter is threaded onto the guide and is advanced through the hollow needle until it is positioned as desired. The introducer needle and the wire guide are then removed from the patient.
Known prior art disclosing related techniques includes U.S. Patent No. 4,068,659 and 4,068,660 both issued on January 17, 1978. The '659 patent, discloses a cannulated needle sharpened at one end, having a cσnnect- or at the other to which an elongated sheath is attached having a slit running lengthwise thereof. A flexible cannula or catheter is disposed within the sheath with its leading end resting within the hollow passage of the needle. The catheter is stiffened by a stylet of substan- tial rigidity which extends within the entire length of the catheter except for the tip thereof. The stylet has a handle projecting through the slot. The catheter is advanced through the needle into the vein by advancement of the handle. Once it is in place, the handle is retract- ed, leaving the catheter in place. Thereafter, the entire assembly, exclusive of the catheter, is withdrawn and discarded.
The arrangement disclosed in the '660 patent is similar except that the catheter has a spring wire helical- ly wound tube on the proximal end. An adapter fitting is attached by twisting onto the helically wound part thereby deforming the wall and securely holding it in place.
Summary of the Invention
In contrast to the foregoing, the present in- vention provides an assembly or kit which includes a small diameter cannulated introducer needle which fits within a catheter. The catheter has a hub at the proximal end which preferably includes a female Leur-type connector. The needle has a beveled tip projecting slightly beyond
the end of the catheter. The proximal end of the needle has a hub formed of transparent material. A tubing formed of transparent plastic material extends rearwardly from the needle hub and contains a small diameter flexible spring wire guide. An actuating lever attached to the trailing end of the wire guide projects through a slit extending longitudinally of the tubing. The blood vessel is punctured by the needle, puncture being evidenced when arterial blood flashes back into the clear hub of the need- le. The catheter and introducer needle are then held in position and the actuating lever of the spring wire guide is advanced toward the needle hub as far as possible via the slit in the clear plastic tubing. This action advances the spring wire guide through the lumen of the introducer needle into the blood vessel itself. The wire also acts as a stylet to inhibit subsequent back-bleeding through the needle while the soft tip aids in negotiating the blood vessel for a distance approximately equal to the length of the catheter to be inserted.
in the final step in use of the invention, the hub of the needle is held stationary and the catheter is advanced forwardly off of the needle into the blood vessel. The spring wire guide, being already in the vessel, pro¬ vides a positive track for catheter advancement. Once the catheter is fully advanced, it is held in place and the introducer needle, the guide tube and wire guide removed and discarded. The catheter hub connector is then attached to its mating connector part, which part depends upon the intended use of the catheter.
Objects and Advantages of the Invention
An important object of the invention is the provision of a catheter introduction system which is part¬ icularly well suited for the introduction of catheters into relatively small diameter blood vessels such as a radial artery.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a catheter introduction apparatus and method in which both walls of small diameter blood vessels are not so read- ily transfixed, and if transfixed, the equipment and technique make it possible to easily guide the catheter into and through the vessel rather than through both walls of the vessel.
Another objective of the invention is the pro- vision of equipment and techniques which reduce the like¬ lihood that the catheter will be cut by the introducer needle as it is inserted into the blood vessel.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of equipment which permits use of smaller dia- meter introducer needles thereby facilitating puncture of small diameter blood vessels while still permitting the* use of catheters having a relatively large internal diameter.
Still another objective of the invention is the provision of catheter introduction equipment which provides a simplified means of advancing a flexible spring wire guide into a small diameter blood vessel for catheter tracking purposes.
•
The various objects and advantages of the in¬ vention are achieved by a catheter introducer set including a cannulated introducer needle, a catheter sized to fit over the needle, an elongated tubular member connected to and projecting rearwardly from the proximal end of the needle with the passage through the needle being in com¬ munication with the interior of the tubular member, a flex¬ ible wire guide positioned within said tubular member and extending lengthwise thereof, the tubular member having a slot running lengthwise thereof, the wire guide having an actuating lever projecting through said slot ahd adapted to be manually advanced so as to move the wire guide through the needle and the lumen of the blood vessel there¬ by providing a guide track for positioning the catheter within the vessel. The wire guide, the needle and the tubular member are removed and discarded after placement of the catheter within the vessel.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment of the invention in which:
Figures 1 and 2 are top and plan views respect¬ ively, showing a catheter introduction set formed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention;
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 of Figure 2 but on a slightly enlarged scale with respect to Figure 2; and
Figure 4 is a perspective exploded view, illus¬ trating various features of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in the drawings, particularly in Figure
4, the preferred form of the invention comprises in gen¬ eral, three separate portions, namely an introducer needle 1, a catheter 2 which fits over needle 1 and a wire guide assembly 3 which is secured at the rear of the needle portion 1 as will be described hereinafter. Needle 1 com¬ prises an elongated shank portion 4 having a beveled tip
5. The shank is hollow or cannulated and is joined at its rear end to a hollow transparent hub 6 which is bored and counterbored for purposes to be explained hereinafter.
Catheter 2 is sized to be telescopically fitted over the shank of needle 1. The catheter is slightly short¬ er than the needle so that when it is fully pushed back against the needle hub 6 the beveled tip of .the needle projects outwardly therefrom by an amount sufficient to permit puncture of the blood vessel by the user of the • device. Preferably a female Luerrtype fitting 9 is formed on the rear of the catheter. In the position illustrated n Figures 1 through 3 the Luer-type female fitting 9 mates with and fits over a shouldered projection 10 on the front of hub 6.
The wire guide assembly 3 preferably comprises elongated tubular member 12 which is fitted into the counter- bore 7 at the rear end of hub 6. Preferably, tubular mem¬ ber 12 is formed of a transparent, semi rigid plastic material. Although the plastic material may have some flexibility it should have sufficient resilience so that it maintains its tubular configuration in use.
In its preferred form, tubular member 12 has a longitudinally extending slot 13 running from a point adjacent the needle hub 6. A plug 14 or other suitable sealing means provides a seal for the end.
An elongated, flexible spring wire guide 15 is housed within tubular member 12. Means for advancing the spring wire guide 15 preferably includes a laterally or radially extending handle 16 fastened to its rear end. Handle 16 projects through the slot 13 and is adapted to advance the spring wire guide through the lumen of needle 1 and outwardly from the distal end into and through the lumen of the blood vessel. Preferably, when the handle is in the retracted position shown in Figures 1 and 2, the tip of the wire guide sits just outside of the opening in the end of the needle. When the handle is advanced from the full line position shown in Figure 1 to the position illustrated by broken lines in that figure (the full line position in Figure 3) the distal end of the wire guide extends into the blood vessel the requisite amount needed to guide the catheter to its intended position.
In use, the entire introducer device as shown in Figures 1 through 3 is removed from a sterile package, not shown, and with all parts as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the selected blood vessel is punctured. In puncturing an artery for example, proper arterial puncture is evi¬ denced when arterial blood "flows-back" into the clear hub 6 of needle 1. Catheter 2 and the introducer needle 1 are then held in position and the actuating handle 16 for the spring wire guide 15 is advanced toward the needle
hub as far as possible. This motion advances the spring wire guide 15 through the lumen of the introducer needle into the lumen of the vessel. During this operation, the wire also acts as a stylet to inhibit back bleeding through the needle. The soft resilient tip of the wire guide safe¬ ly and easily negotiates the vessel for a distance approx¬ imately equal to the length of the catheter to be inserted.
While holding the hub 6 stationary, the catheter is advanced forwardly off the needle and into the vessel. The spring wire guide, being already in the vessel, pro¬ vides a positive track for catheter advancement. Once the catheter is fully advanced, it is manually held in place and the introducer needle with rear tube 12 and wire guide 15 is removed and discarded. The catheter hub is then attached to the mating connector of the equipment with which the catheter is intended to be used. If desired, a stopcock or injection cap may be fitted into the connect¬ or 9 until the catheter is ready for use.
The invention has been found to simplify the procedure of catherization of small blood vessels such as a radial artery. Usually the physician can effect pro¬ per placement of the catheter on the first try. The wire guide is easily manipulated by the handle 16 and readily follows the path of the artery. The over-the-needle catheter can then be quickly and easily advanced off the end of the needle and when the wire guide is removed the fitting on the catheter is ready to be connected to the equipment with which the catheter is to be used.
