ABSTRACT:
A catheter grip adapted to couple with an introducer or sheath holds a catheter in position while in use in a patient's body. The grip has a hub defining a channel through which the catheter extends, a pair of grip members that work with each other to hold the catheter body between them, a pair of separators to release the catheter body, and a pair of tabs for the doctor to actuate the separators. Each pair of the grip members and the separators is situated on a different diameter of a surface that extends across the channel and each grip member and separator is diametrically opposed to its mate. Movement between the grip members and the separators is coordinated in that as the grip members move toward each other the separators move away from each other, and vice versa.
