ABSTRACT:
A sliding knife and needle assembly for creating a percutaneous incision or portal in a living body comprises an elongate hollow rectangular handle having a closed first end, an open second end and a slot extending along one side, with the handle defining a first central longitudinal axis. A knife blade and introducer assembly is slidably housed inside the handle for sliding along the axis. The knife blade is substantially flat and rigidly attached to one end of the introducer. The introducer has a longitudinal bore which extends along a second axis parallel to the first axis. A locking button is attached to the introducer and extends through the slot in the handle. A needle is affixed to the first end of the handle and extends through the second axis and beyond the second end of the handle. The needle extends through the bore in the introducer. By this construction, the knife blade and introducer can be slid into and out of the handle along the first axis and locked in a retracted position wherein the knife blade is enclosed by the handle and slid to an extended position wherein the knife blade extends from and beyond the second end of the handle by releasing the locking button and sliding it along the slot.
