Abstract
An insertion device includes a housing, a sheath, a guidewire, and a wheel assembly. The housing has a distal opening at a distal end and a proximal opening at a proximal end. The sheath is coupled to the proximal end of the housing and has an interior in communication with a proximal opening of the housing. The guidewire extends through the proximal opening and into the sheath. The guidewire includes a feature to limit distal advancement of the guidewire. The wheel assembly is rotatably coupled to the housing and connected to the guidewire such that rotation of the wheel assembly distally advances the guidewire through the distal opening of the housing.
