Definitions

  • This invention relates to a catheter guide.
  • the invention relates to a catheter guide for use in inserting such a catheter tube, typically a fine bore catheter tube, into a cannula.
  • fine bore catheter tube means a catheter tube having an outside diameter of less than about 2 mm (which would normally imply an internal bore of less than 1.5 mm diameter].
  • Fine bore catheter tubes can have outside diameters as small as 0.6 mm.
  • the term fine bore catheter as used herein means either a catheter including a fine bore catheter tube (i.e. a catheter hub and a fine bore catheter tube secured to that hub, or a fine bore catheter tube per se.
  • Fine bore silicone catheters allow long term phlebitis (inflammation) free infusion of intravenous nutrition into peripheral veins such as leg and arm veins.
  • a fine bore catheter can be as effective a large bore catheter centrally placed in a main vein in the torso or the chest of a patient such as an infraclavicular sub clavian or jugular vein. Placing a larger catheter in a main vein has inherent risks: in particular damage to the vein and surrounding structures and thrombosis can occur. Dedicated specialised support teams are required to monitor patients subjected to central venous cannulation yet the risks persist.
  • a system for introducing a fine bore catheter into a vein which includes a cannula unit comprising an elongate tubular sheath defining a distal end and a proximal end and a hub enclosing the proximal end of the sheath.
  • the cannula unit is adapted to receive an introducing needle for introducing the distal end of the sheath of the cannula into a vein.
  • the system also includes a catheter unit having a distal end and a proximal end, a body portion being located at the proximal end of the catheter unit and a fine bore catheter tube extending from the body portion to the distal end of the catheter unit.
  • the hub of the cannula unit defines guide means adapted to receive and guide the distal end of the catheter of the tube into the proximal end of the cannula sheath so that the catheter tube can be guided into and then fed along the sheath.
  • the hub of a cannula unit is adapted to receive and enclose at least a part of the hub of the catheter in a locking arrangement which substantially prevents the catheter hub moving relative to the hub of the cannula unit.
  • the introducing needle is inserted into the cannula unit and used to pierce a vein of a patient and thus introduce the distal end of the cannula sheath into a vein.
  • the introducer needle is then removed and the catheter tube is inserted into the cannula.
  • the insertion of the catheter tube into the cannula is carried out using forceps and normally the surgeon inserting the catheter tube into the cannula would hold the cannula against the patient's body to prevent the cannula moving and traumatising the patient, and attempt to use his other hand to try and guide the bore of the catheter into the cannula and thus into the patient's vein using the forceps.
  • the system described above being a considerable improvement on the existing catheter through needle technique described above, it is still an awkward procedure to insert the catheter tube in an efficient and aseptic manner since fine bore catheter tubes are very flexible particularly when compared with larger bore catheters which are stiffer.
  • the present invention seeks to further improve on the system described in WO 96/33764 (the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference).
  • One existing solution to the problem of introducing (large bore) catheters into veins and the like without contaminating the catheter has been the provision of a sheath is disposed around the catheter so that the catheter can be handled with the surgeons hands rather than forceps, the sheath being peeled off after handling so that the actual catheter tube itself is not touched and contaminated.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a device which allows more efficient handling of a catheter particularly a fine bore catheter and that may assist in reducing the risk of insertion complications.
  • a catheter guide including: a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being configured to fit into an open end of a hub of a suitably configured cannula, the housing defining a guide path means located inside the housing which guide path means is adapted to receive a catheter tube, the guide path means being adapted for supporting the catheter tube in a preferably substantially straight line from the proximal end of the housing to the distal end to allow feeding of the catheter along the guide path means through the guide and out of the distal end.
  • the guide is separable or openable to allow removal of the catheter tube from the guide path means of the housing.
  • the guide path means will be adapted for receiving a fine bore catheter and have a diameter of about 2mm or less.
  • the catheter guide preferably has two wings extending laterally from each side of the centre of the housing. This feature enables a user to grasp the catheter guide without risking touching the catheter tube that is to be inserted into the cannula and thence into the vein of a patient. Further, when the catheter guide is inserted into a cannula having a configuration such as is described in WO 96/33764, the wings locate and secure the guide means preventing the guide and catheter from becoming dislodged from the cannula during the insertion procedure and enabling the user (such as a nurse or healthcare professional) to operate (i.e. insert the catheter tube) with two free hands.
  • the guide path means is of uniform dimension along its entire length (i.e. of substantially constant diameter) such that no articles are encountered by the catheter tube that would disrupt passage of the catheter tube through the housing.
  • the guide is manufactured from a plastics material such as PVC or nylon.
  • the catheter guide is manufactured in two substantially identical halves. It is preferred that the two halves are fixed together by means of a pin and socket design in which pins and sockets are located at the proximal end of the guide and the base of the pins is approximately as wide as or marginally wider than, the width of the socket so that the two components of the catheter guide are biased apart slightly at the distal end.
  • a catheter guide including: a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being configured to fit into an open end of a hub of a suitably configured cannula, the housing defining a guide path means located inside the housing which guide path means is adapted to receive a catheter tube, typically a fine bore catheter tube, the guide path means being adapted for supporting the catheter tube in a preferably substantially straight line from the proximal end of the housing to the distal end and including a means for indirectly or remotely engaging the catheter tube inside the guide path means and pushing the same along the guide path means,
  • the means for engaging the catheter tube includes a wheel which is mounted in the catheter guide on a shaft and which defines an external rim which can be pushed by a user to turn the wheel about its axis and an engaging surface such as a flange defined between the rim of the wheel and the shaft the arrangement being such that the catheter guiding surface may be rotated about the shaft by means of a person touching the rim and without the need for a person to touch the catheter engaging surface.
  • the catheter guide is separable into two parts or openable to disengage the catheter guide from the catheter.
  • the catheter guide may define wings for engaging in corresponding slots in a suitably configured cannula unit.
  • the present invention provides an assembly comprising a length of catheter tubing typically between 10 and 60 cm long defining a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being incorporated in a catheter hub, with a catheter guide having the first or second aspects as described above being provided at the proximal end of the catheter tubing with a small length, preferably a few millimetres, of catheter tubing protruding beyond the distal end of the catheter guide, the assembly being sealed in a package which is aseptic and/or sterilisable.
  • a third aspect of the present invention provides a catheter guide including: a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being configured to fit into an open end of a hub of a suitably configured cannula.
  • the housing defining a guide path means located inside the housing which guide path means is adapted to receive a catheter tube, typically a fine bore catheter tube, the guide path means being adapted for supporting the catheter tube in a line from the proximal end of the housing to the distal end, the housing further defining a substantially straight bore separate from the guide path means at the proximal end of the housing but which merges with the guide path means at or near the distal end of the housing: and a means for indirectly or remotely engaging the catheter tube inside the guide path means and pushing the catheter tube along the guide path means; and wherein the bore is adapted to receive a retractable needle the arrangement being such that after the needle has punctured a patient's vein, the needle may be retracted along the bore to allow the catheter tube to be fed
  • a needle is disposed in the bore in a retracted position so that the guide can be inserted into the catheter with the needle retracted and venipuncture occurs when the needle is pushed along the bore and into the cannula and thence into a patient's vein.
  • the distal end of the needle may be provided with a grip or handle for pushing the needle and the open distal end of the needle may be in sealed fluid communication with a blood flashback chamber.
  • this particular construction minimises blood spillage at the time of needle insertion as well as protecting against needlestick injuries.
  • the means for engaging the catheter tube includes a wheel which is mounted in the catheter guide on a shaft and which defines an external rim which can be pushed by a user to turn the wheel about its axis and an engaging surface such as a flange defined between the rim of the wheel and the shaft the arrangement being such that the catheter guiding surface may be rotated about the shaft by means of a person touching the rim and without the need for a person to touch the catheter engaging surface.
  • the guide path means may be substantially straight and may be oriented at an angle of about 5 to 30 degrees relative to the bore.
  • the grip means may define two bores, one for receiving the needle, the other for receiving an elongate projection extending rearwards from the proximal end of the guide parallel to the bore of the guide and along which the grip can slide to move the needle relative to the guide.
  • the device includes a needle engagement means to prevent re-use of the needle and guide after it had been used once.
  • the present invention also provides an assembly comprising a length of catheter tubing typically between 10 and 60 cm long defining a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being incorporated in a catheter hub, with a catheter guide of the third aspect as described above being provided at the proximal end of the catheter tubing with the distal end of the catheter tubing located in the guide means of the catheter guide, the assembly including a needle and being sealed in a package which is aseptic and/or sterilisable.
  • the invention also provides a method of inserting a fine bore catheter into a vein comprising the steps of:- a).
  • a catheter guide including a retractable needle into a hub of a cannula, positioning the cannula on a patient for puncture of a chosen vein with the needle tip projecting from the cannula and piercing the patient's vein: b). checking that the needle has pierced the vein by means of a blood flashback chamber associated with the needle; c). retracting the needle to remove it from the cannula; and d). using the guide means to guide a catheter tube into the vein via the cannula.

  • Figure 7 is a section on lines VII- VII of Figure 6;
  • Figure 8 is a schematic side view of a yet further embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figures 9 to 11 show stages in the introduction of a catheter using the embodiment of Figure 8.
  • Figure 1 shows components of system for inserting a fine bore catheter into a vein comprising an introducing needle unit 10, a cannula unit generally indicated at 30 and a catheter hub generally indicated at 50.
  • the introducing needle unit 10 defines a hub which has a proximal end 10A and a distal end 10B. From the proximal end 10A, the needle unit hub defines a main body portion 12 which is generally cylindrical but which is contoured with a series circumferentially extending ribs 14, a conical portion 16 and an enlarged bulbous portion 18 which is generally ellipsoid in shape. The proximal end of the cylindrical body portion defines a central bore 20 which has a standard luer taper. A needle 11 extends from the distal end of the needle unit as far as the junction between the conical portion and the cylindrical portion of the needle hub.
  • the cannula unit 30 has a proximal end 30A and a distal end 30B. It comprises an elongate sheath or cannula tube 32 defining a cylindrical bore and a hub portion generally indicated at 34. In the Figure only a part of the sheath 32 is visible. From the proximal end 30A, the hub defines a generally bell shape portion 36 from which extend two flat wing portions 38, 40. The bell shaped portion 36 defines a generally bell shaped internal cavity including a depending skirt portion through which two slots 42, 44 extend from the proximal end 30A of the hub of the cannula unit and which terminate in an enlarged generally circular opening of which only one 46 is visible in Figure 1.
  • the catheter unit 50 has a proximal end 50A and a distal end 50B.
  • the distal end of the catheter hub 51 defines a conical portion 52 which tapers towards a generally ellipsoid shape protrusion or plug 54.
  • the catheter tube 58 is fixed to the distal end 50B of the catheter body.
  • Both the introducer needle and the catheter hub are configured to fit inside the cannula.
  • the conical and ellipsoid portions locate inside the bell shaped portion of the cannula with the protrusions on the catheter hub preventing the same from moving or rotating relative to the cannula hub.
  • Figure 2 shows a catheter guide generally indicated at 100, which can be utilised to alleviate that problem.
  • the catheter guide 100 has a proximal end 100A and a distal end
  • the centre of the catheter guide comprises a generally cylindrical but slightly tapering, central portion 102 and a generally ellipsoid portion 104 which terminates at the distal end 100B of the catheter guide.
  • Wings 106, 108 extend laterally from the centre portion 102 of the housing.
  • the total width of the housing including the wings is approximately 20 mm, a preferred range for that width being 15 to 40 mm.
  • a longitudinal bore 110 of approximately 2 mm diameter which defines a guide path extends through the centre 101, best seen in Figure 3.
  • the catheter guide is made of two identical halves or components
  • the sockets 116 are generally cylindrical and are defined in protrusions 118. one socket/protrusion being defined on one wing of each component in an asymmetric arrangement (refer to Figure 3).
  • the plugs 120 have a generally cylindrical portion 122 adjacent the wing and a distal truncated conical portion 124. On the opposite side of the wing to the plug there is a protrusion whose external shape and size is substantially identical to the shape of protrusions 118.
  • the protrusions 126. 118 can be used to grip and manipulate the catheter guide.
  • the pins and sockets principally engage by means of friction of the cylindrical portions 122 in the sockets with relatively little force and this allows the catheter guide to be separated in two and removed from this location around a catheter bore with minimal disruption to the catheter tube 58. Further, tabs 128 on either side of the assembled catheter guide provides extra leverage when separating the two halves of the catheter guide.
  • the provision of the wings enables the catheter guide to securely locate in a cannula made to the design of the cannula 30 shown in Figure 1 with the wings locating in slots 42,44.
  • the fact that both components of the assembled guide 100 are identical reduces the moulding costs for making the guide.
  • the catheter 50 and assembled catheter guide 100 can be provided in a sealed aseptic package with the catheter guide already located around the distal end of the catheter tubing 58 associated with the catheter hub. with the catheter tubing positioned inside the bore or guide path 110 of the catheter guide.
  • the package can be opened and the catheter guide conveniently grasped by the operator by means of the two laterally extending wings 106. 108. with a short section of the catheter tubing protruding from the distal end of the guide.
  • the protruding section is then inserted into the open end of a suitably configured cannula such as a cannula 30 and the catheter tubing guided into the vein of the patient via the guide and cannula.
  • the guide locks in the cannula by means of the wings 106, 108 engaging in slots 42, 44. Forceps can be used to push the catheter tube through the catheter guide (the bore 110 being lightly wider than the tubing), through the sheath into the vein. The fact that a portion of the catheter is maintained straight by the catheter guide assists in this. This method of insertion is possible since guide is locked in the cannula and the operator can use two free hands.
  • the catheter guide may be removed from the cannula by the lateral wings and separated into two. Instead of separation into two a hinge arrangement could also be provided which would enable the guide to open to disengage/remove the catheter tube from the bore of the guide.
  • the present invention provides a catheter guide which can be used to guide tubing into a introducing cannula without the necessity of precise hand to eye coordination.
  • the invention also reduces the possibility of trauma and infection at the insertion sight as the guide assists in inserting the catheter efficiently and aseptically. Once the guide has been removed, the catheter can be secured and dressed in a standard manner.
  • Figures 5 to 7 show two further catheter guides generally indicated at 200.
  • the design of the guide shown in Figure 5 is slightly different to the guide shown in Figures 6 and 7, however the differences are largely cosmetic and the principal of operation of the two embodiments is the same. Similar components in the Figures share the same reference numerals.
  • the catheter guide 200 includes a body portion 201 defining a longitudinal central axis 202.

  • a vertically extending slot 210 is defined between the plates.
  • the slot is configured to receive the wheel 203, thus in side view, the slot is generally arcuate.
  • Two plates 212, 214 extend up from the body portion 201.
  • a generally keyhole-shaped slot 216 is defined in each plate.
  • the wheel 203 includes a central integral shaft 218 which is mounted in a lower part of the hole 216 defined in each of two spaced apart plates 212, 214.
  • a flange is defined at each distal end of the shaft. Each flange is wider than the lower part of the slot, to lock the wheel in the slot.
  • the wheel has an external surface or rim 220 which is serrated and defines a second circular flange surface 222 of a lesser diameter than the wheel. As the wheel rotates the part of the flange surface 222A below the central shaft of the wheel contacts the catheter 58 in the central bore of the catheter guide as illustrated in Figure 7.
  • the catheter guide can be used for feeding a fine bore catheter
  • a protective sheath 250 may be attached over the catheter guide so the catheter has no contact with dust or air and the risk of infection to an open insertion site and to the length of the catheter to lie inside the vein would be greatly reduced.

  • the catheter guide of the second and third embodiments of the present invention provides a means to hold a soft fine bore catheter straight and stiff at the point of insertion where the catheter is fed into a cannula.
  • the guide path/track holds the catheter horizontal for the length of the guide path, thus any portion of the fine bore catheter that has been pushed through the track via the wheel will remain supported for the necessary length to ensure insertion. Since the catheter guide is shaped to fit into the cannula in the correct orientation, the fine bore catheter will automatically be guided from the catheter guide through the cannula and into the vein. After the catheter has been inserted to the desired position in the vein, the catheter guide is removed from the cannula and the catheter tube by splitting the catheter guide into two portions.
  • the catheter guide may include wings for locking the guide into the cannula 30.
  • the present invention obviates the need for the use of secondary tools such as forceps and hands in servicing fine bore catheter tubes.
