Abstract
An apparatus for inserting a catheter into a selected vein and to a selected position within such vein comprises a tubular sheath mountable in surrounding relation to a percutaneous needle to permit the distal end of the tubular sheath to enter the vein penetrated by the needle. The tubular sheath is rigidly bonded in the bore of a hub portion of an operating element and has a pair of diametrically opposed, longitudinal score lines. The hub element is longitudinally divided by longitudinal slots aligned with the sheath score lines except for two thin walled integral connecting sections having score lines aligned with the sheath score lines. A pair of diametrically opposed, manually graspable wing portions are integrally formed on the hub element intermediate the hub score lines to permit the longitudinal severance of the hub and sheath to remove same from a catheter traversing the bores of the hub element and sheath to enter the selected vein after the needle is removed.
