    a coupling mechanism coupled to the housing, adapted to couple the device port to a proximal portion of a medical instrument;

    a normally closed valve, adapted to form a seal around an elongated member inserted through the lumen, and to prohibit flow of fluid through the introducer port of the housing;

    a locking mechanism coupled to the housing, adapted to secure the elongated member against axial movement with respect to the housing; and

    a fluid port in fluid communication with the lumen, adapted to permit the injection of fluid through it to the device port.
