Abstract:
A catheter insertion device which employs back-and-forth longitudinal axial movement to advance the catheter by the cooperative interface of an incline ramp and a decline ramp with a split gripping mechanism is described.

Claim (Index 17):
A catheter insertion device which comprises:\n a collection bag; a catheter insertion device, comprising:\n a substantially hollow cylindrical housing defining a longitudinally extending peripheral slot on one side of the housing;\n the housing defining an opposed longitudinally extending groove opposed from the peripheral slot; \n a forward-projecting cylinder extension in communication with the substantially hollow housing; and \n a means for preventing or retarding rearward motion of the catheter; \n \n a catheter advancing means insertable into the cylindrical housing and having a first proximal position and a second distal position, comprising:\n a means for effecting transverse movement of at least one component of the catheter advancing means, the transverse movement effected at least in part to impingement of the advancing means with a declining ramp in the housing adjacent the longitudinally extending peripheral slot and moves outwardly in response to impingement of the advancing means with an inclining ramp in the housing adjacent the longitudinally extending peripheral slot in response to the advancing means moving between the first and second positions; \n the transverse movement effected by an opposed pair of split tubing guides, at least one of the tubing guides moving interiorly in combination with downward defecting movement of the top rail upon impingement of at least a portion of the top rail with a decline ramp toward the rear of the at least one upper longitudinal slot to effect compression of a catheter and upward deflecting movement of the top rail upon impingement of at least a portion of the top rail with an incline ramp toward the front of the at least one upper longitudinal slot to release the compression on the catheter; \n \n the catheter disposed within a collection bag sleeve;\n the collection bag sleeve sealed about at least one peripheral edge to itself and to the collection bag; \n the collection bag sleeve bonded to at least a portion of a proximal end of the hollow cylindrical housing; \n the collection bag sleeve bonded to at least a portion of the top rail of the advancing sleeve; \n the collection bag sleeve bonded to at least a portion fo the bottom rail of the advancing sleeve; \n the collection bag sleeve forming an accordion-like configuration when the advancing sleeve is in the first position; \n an introducer tip having a front and a rear;\n the rear of the introducer tip matingly engaging with the forward-projecting cylinder extension of the housing; and \n the front of the tip having at least two transversely extending slits.
