Abstract:
1. A system for introduction of a coil into a catheter for deployment into a body lumen, comprising: a stabilizer including a rigid luer adapter at a proximal end thereof and a flexible catheter hub mating portion extending from the luer adapter to a distal end of the stabilizer wherein a passage extends through the stabilizer from the proximal end to an opening formed in the distal end; and an introducer sheath including a coil receiving lumen extending therethrough to a coil deploying opening, a distal portion of the sheath being sized for insertion through the passage to project distally from the distal opening, the distal portion of the sheath and the mating portion being sized so that, when the mating portion is inserted to an operative position within a hub of a catheter with the distal portion of the sheath projecting therefrom, the coil deploying opening abuts a proximal opening of the catheter.
