ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method for effecting a catheter exchange by cutting a catheter perpendicularly to it's axis and maintaining a grip on a guidewire while the cut end of the catheter is withdrawn rearwardly over the guidewire's distal end. This permits the operator to maintain the guidewire's position during the removal of the catheter.
