SHEATH ASSEMBLY FOR INSERTION OF A CORD-SHAPED ELEMENT, PARTICULARLY A CATHETER, INTO THE BODY OF A PATIENT
First Claim
1. A sheath assembly for insertion of a cord-shaped element (32, 105), particularly a catheter, into the body of a patient, said assembly comprising an introducer sheath (101), the distal end (102) of which is provided for insertion into the body of a patient and the proximal end (103) of which protrudes from the body of the patient during insertion of the distal end of said assembly into the body of the patient, and comprising an auxiliary sheath (104) for insertion into the introducer sheath (101) together with the cord-shaped element/catheter (32, 105), with first fastening means (106) especially for detachably fastening the auxiliary sheath to the introducer sheath, and with second fastening means (107) especially for detachably fastening the cord-shaped element to the auxiliary sheath, wherein the introducer sheath (101) has a first sheath housing (13, 114) and therein, a first sheath inner chamber (110) having a first receiving channel for a cord-shaped element (32, 105) and a distal tubular section (11, 41a) that terminates in the first sheath housing, and a first flushing device (108) for flushing the sheath inner chamber (110), wherein the auxiliary sheath (104) has a second sheath inner chamber (111) having a second receiving channel for a cord-shaped element (32, 105), a distal, tubular part (112) and a second flushing device (109) for the second sheath inner chamber (111), and wherein the first sheath housing (13, 114) has means (63) for positioning the distal end of the tubular part (112) of the auxiliary sheath (104) in the first sheath housing (13, 114), proximally in front of the proximal end of the tubular section (11, 41a).
