ABSTRACT:
The improved catheter sheath introducer serves the purpose of introducing a catheter or the like into a patient's body vessel. The introducer includes a hollow housing having a pasageway extending through the proximal and distal ends of the housing so that an elongated catheter may slide through the housing from the proximal end to the distal end thereof before introduction into a body vessel. A cannula extends from the distal end of the housing and is adapted to be inserted into the body vessel and is in communication with the passageway of the housing. Thus, the catheter may slide through the distal end of the housing and then through the cannula into the body vessel. A flexible coupling connects one end of the cannula with the housing distal end in such a manner that the cannula may be angularly displaced with respect to the distal end of the housing without bending the cannula itself.
