Abstract
The present invention provides a guide wire and catheter disk holder that carries coiled guide wires and catheters with easy insertion of coiled guide wires and catheters through a side cutout on the holder allowing the user's hand to extend through the disk. The coiled guide wires and catheters are inserted substantially along a plane of the disk thus encouraging uncoiling and expanding of the wires and catheters into a longitudinal channel of the disk. The secured wire can be pulled out of the disk by holding and pulling the entire coiled wire, or by simply pulling the end of the wire while the rest of the wire is still secured inside the holder. Optionally, a spool may be inserted into the disk holder in order to wind up uncoiled wire and catheter within the disk holder.
