An introducer assembly includes a catheter having a proximal end, a distal end extending to a distal tip of the introducer assembly, and an outer catheter wall. The catheter includes a medical device holding portion proximate the distal end, a guide wire lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends, and a side opening extending through the outer wall to the guide wire lumen. The side opening and the guide wire lumen are simultaneously open and the guide wire lumen and side opening are able to receive a guide wire therethrough. The catheter is flexible at least in the location of the side opening. The catheter also includes a plurality of one stiffening mandrel lumens extending from the proximal end and a plurality of stiffening mandrels.

Introducer assembly particularly for balloon catheters

An occlusion device () includes a cannula (), a dilator tip () fixed to the cannula and a frame member formed of an occlusion member () and a sleeve (). The occlusion member () is covered with occlusion material (). The cannula () is in the form of a tube having a lumen () passing therethrough. The dilator tip () also has a lumen therethrough and a valve (). The arrangement is such that the occluder () can be delivered by an over the wire method using a guide wire, whereupon the cannula and dilator tip remain in the patient as part of the occluder assembly ().
