Abstract
A tear-away introducer tool for a disposable introducer set used in introducing a catheter into a blood vessel comprises an elongate sheath having a pair of opposed splits in the proximal end thereof to define a pair of tabs. A handle is secured to the sheath and includes a pair of handle members, each comprising a pair of clamping elements which clamp the tabs of the sheath therebetween. The handle has opposed weakened portions which facilitate the tearing of the sheath along axial lines and the handle also facilitates manipulation of the introducer tool during the catheter introduction procedure.
