Abstract
A winged catheter introducer for use in introducing a catheter into a blood vessel is disclosed. A needle is disposed within the catheter to help penetrate a patient's blood vessel. The needle and catheter are disposed within an introducer body having a pair of deformable wings extending from opposite sides of the body. A pair of opposing clamp jaws are disposed within the introducer body adjacent the wings. The clamp jaws are configured to grip and retain the catheter and needle when the wings are compressed towards each other. In a disclosed embodiment, the clamp jaws are biased in an open configuration and define clamp surfaces having angled ridges which engage the catheter exterior surface.
