ABSTRACT:
A system and method of catheterization includes a needle, a "Y" connector, a syringe, a dilator, a sheath, a protective sleeve and a shock sheath. This introduces a comprehensive, uniform and universal approach to catheterization. Discriminatory methods of treatment using the invention are described. Particular attention has been paid to current problems in catheterization and the prevention of transmission of communicable diseases from patient to practitioner and vice-versa (e.g., the risk of contracting the HIV virus is substantially reduced using this system and method). The invention makes possible substantial decreases in the cost of health care while improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. It allows the practitioner to perform simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of diseases using the same procedure, regardless of their location in or on the body. The number and duration of hospitalization is minimized, and the quality of life and length of survival for the patient are improved.
