ABSTRACT:
A guidewire introducer assembly is disclosed, together with a method of introducing a guidewire into a blood vessel. The introducer assembly allows a guidewire to be grasped between the digits of a user, thereby facilitating advancement or retraction of the guidewire. It includes an elongated dispenser tube, a guidewire slidably positioned within the dispenser tube and a guidewire introducer. The guidewire introducer includes or defines an opening through which the guidewire may be grasped. As the guidewire passes through the opening, it can be grasped by a user and advanced or retracted through the guidewire introducer. The guidewire introducer also allows the user to straighten the end portion of the guidewire. This allows the easy insertion of a guidewire having a J-tipped end portion within an introducer needle or catheter.
