ABSTRACT:
An adapter for an introducer comprises a medical device having a tubular port on a proximal end such as a splittable hemostatic valve. A tubular fitting is provided on a proximal end of the introducer. An elastomeric member is disposed between the port of the medical device and the tubular fitting of the introducer for providing a fluid tight and mechanically secure connection therebetween. The introducer and valve are manually connectable and reconnectable with each other while maintaining the fluid tight connection between them. A side port may communicate with the hemostatic valve, the side port having a controllable valve ending. In the preferred embodiment the introducer comprises a splittable introducer. In the illustrated embodiment the elastomeric member provides a slip fit between the medical device and the tubular fitting of the introducer. A tab extends from the tubular fitting of the introducer to facilitate manual manipulation of the tubular fitting. In the preferred embodiment, the introducer is torqueable and the tab is used to rotate the introducer.
