ABSTRACT:
An introducer system for introducing a lead or catheter and a method of use. The introducer system includes an elongated introducer sheath which has a luer hub mounted to its proximal end through which a lead or catheter is introduced and a slitter for slitting the luer hub and the introducer sheath. The slittable luer hub takes the form of a conical or cylindrical member carrying a laterally extending tab adapted to engage internal threading on a female luer lock fitting and has a slittable portion angularly displaced from the tab. The slitter includes a blade, a handle carrying the blade, a mechanism for engaging the lead or catheter in the vicinity of the blade and a mechanism for engaging the lead or catheter proximal to the blade, configured such that the lead or catheter body when engaged by the slitter is angled proximal to the blade of the slitter.
