Abstract
A multifunction adaptor for an open-ended catheter that allows placement of the catheter without risk of air embolism or blood loss through the open (proximal) end of the catheter body. The present design allows passage of a standard guidewire for 'over the guidewire' placement techniques and a connection for catheter flushing using a standard syringe.
