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 11):
A catheter insertion kit 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 an advancing sleeve insertable into the cylindrical housing and having a first proximal position and a second distal position, comprising:\n 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 tubing 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 tubing; \n the advancing sleeve having a bottom rail which slidingly engages the longitudinally extending groove in the housing; \n the advancing sleeve having an expanded rear portion; \n \n a 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; \n the front of the tip having at least one transversely extending slit; \n a front protective cap positioned over at least a portion of the introducer tip; and \n a rear protective cap positioned over the expanded rear portion of the advancing sleeve.
