ABSTRACT:
The catheter unit for continuous spinal anesthesia has inner and outer tubules longitudinal adjustable relative to one another, and a catheter. The inner tubule has a closed point end with a lateral opening. The outer tubule extends along the inner tubule and has an open forward end whose rim is free of cutting edges. When the inner tubule is in position within the body, it can be retracted from the outer tubule to allow longitudinal introduction of the catheter through the outer tube and longitudinally beyond the open forward end.
