Abstract
An apparatus for assisting in the introduction of a flexible wire into a device having a comparable sized lumen. An exemplary apparatus includes a first portion having a distal end, a proximal end, a slot and a lumen exposed at the distal end, the proximal end and the slot, and a second portion having a distal end, a proximal end, a slot and a lumen exposed at the distal end, the proximal end and the slot of the second portion. The second portion is slidably and rotatably received with the lumen of the first portion. A gripping device is attached at the proximal end of the second portion. The gripping device causes at least a portion of the proximal end of the second portion to have a reduced inner diameter when a gripping force is applied to the gripping device.
