Abstract
A catheter guide for controlling an angle of entry of a catheter into a human cranium at an angle of 90 degrees to the surface and allowing for easy removable of the catheter guide from the catheter after use. A tubular member defines a catheter guide lumen to permit the passage therethrough of a catheter. A base supports the tubular member. In a two piece assembly, the tubular member may have a fracture line allowing the catheter guide to be separated from the catheter. In an integrated, break-away assembly, the catheter guide may be broken apart to allow for the removal of the catheter guide from the catheter. Alternatively, in an integrated assembly or in a two piece assembly, the catheter guide may be removed from a catheter through a slot in the catheter guide.
