Abstract

See full text

An improved self-lubricating catheter and guidewire introducer is provided with a reservoir containing lubrication fluid located proximally of a sealing gasket in a modified end cap. An improved self-sealing gasket provides hemostasis while reducing the force required to move a catheter or guidewire positioned within the gasket.
