ABSTRACT:
A sterile assembly and method for protecting and affixing an indwelling device such as an elongated catheter, or pacer lead, in an incision in the human body includes an elongated, hollow tubular, sheath of transparent, relatively limp, impervious plastic having at its proximal end a dome of self-supporting plastic adherable around the incision and having, at its distal end, an elongated tube, several inches in length, of self-supporting plastic. The sheath is shipped accordion folded onto the tube to save space. The indwelling device is sleeved into the sheath with the conventional nub at its distal end wedged in the bore. The proximal end is introduced into the incision and the domed distal end of the sheath is adhered around the incision so that the device is contamination free. The device and sheath are then gripped in the slot of a clamp and the clamp adhered to the body near the incision or elsewhere. The Introducer may be withdrawn into the sheath away from the incision, while remaining sealed in the sheath.
