Sheath device for inserting a catheter
First Claim
1. A sheath device for inserting a catheter into a patient'"'"'s body, comprising:
- a first sheath having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the first sheath configured to be arranged in the patient'"'"'s body during use and the proximal end of the first sheath configured to be arranged outside the patient'"'"'s body, the first sheath comprising a tubular section connected to a sheath housing, the sheath housing disposed at a proximal end of the tubular section configured as a receiving channel, and wherein the sheath housing is displaceable relative to the tubular section along a longitudinal axis;
a second sheath configured as a lumen for receiving a medical device and configured to be positioned proximal of the proximal end of the first sheath, wherein a distal end of the second sheath is positioned inside a proximal end of the sheath housing; and
a clamping element on the receiving channel configured to clamp the second sheath in position relative to the first sheath prior to moving the medical device from the second sheath into the receiving channel;
wherein the tubular section is configured to allow for a transfer of the medical device from the second sheath into the tubular section when the tubular section is displaced relative to the sheath housing such that the sheath housing extends proximally beyond the proximal end of the tubular section.

Abstract
A sheath device for inserting a catheter into a patient'"'"'s body is described. The device has a first sheath with a proximal end and a distal end. When the device is used as intended, the distal end of the first sheath is provided for arrangement in the patient'"'"'s body and the proximal end of the first sheath is provided for arrangement outside the patient'"'"'s body. The first sheath comprises a tubular section and a sheath housing, which is disposed at the proximal end of the section and has a receiving channel for a strand-shaped body. The device solves the problem of reliably fixing a second sheath or a catheter with respect to the first sheath by providing a clamping element on the receiving channel for fixing a strand-shaped body in the receiving channel by way of clamping.
