ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a means for accessing blood vessels for the insertion of a guide wire while preventing the free release of blood. Specifically, a hollow, thin-walled metal tube typically having a sharp point at its distal end is joined at its proximal end to a transparent viewing section. The viewing section has a distal narrow lumen and a proximal chamber which has a cap at its proximal end. The cap encloses a pressure sealing means through which a guide wire can be passed. After the distal end of the metal tube is placed in an artery, blood will rush through the metal tube and into the viewing section. The air in the air-tight proximal chamber will alternatively be compressed between diastolic and systolic blood pressure. Feedback to the operator that the distal end of the metal tube is properly placed within an artery can be achieved by observing the reciprocating pulsatile motion of the blood column within the distal narrow lumen of the viewing section. When the proper pulsatile motion is observed, a guide wire can be passed through the sealing means in the cap, through the viewing section, through the metal tube and finally the guide wire will enter the lumen of the artery.
