Abstract
A device for gripping a catheter, including a first jaw having a first exterior side and a first radial passage. The device has a second jaw having a second exterior side, opposite the first exterior side, and a second radial passage. The device also has a resilient joint connecting the first and second jaws so that manual compression of the first exterior side toward the second exterior side causes relative rotation between the first and second jaws that mutually aligns the first and second radial passages, such that the catheter can be inserted through the first and second radial passages, and so that releasing the manual compression causes the first and second jaws to rotate so that the first and second radial passages are no longer mutually aligned and so that the catheter passes through and is gripped by the device along mutually aligned first and second central axes.
