ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed is a disposable introducer kit for the introduction of a catheter into small vessels such as the radial artery of a patient. The introducer assembly is contained in a sterile package and removed as an entire unit including needle 1, catheter 2, wire guide 15 and wire guide feed device 16. The catheter is mounted on the introducer needle 1 with the tip 5 of the needle extending slightly beyond the tip of the catheter 2. A guide tube 12 extends rearwardly from a hub 6 on the back of the needle. The wire guide 15 is mounted in the tube with a wire guide actuating handle projecting through an elongated slot 13 in the side wall of the tubing. In use, the needle 1 is first inserted into the lumen of the vessel. The wire guide 15 is next advanced by means of the actuating handle 16 as far as possible into the vessel. The catheter is then advanced forwardly to track the wire guide into the vessel to the desired position. Thereafter the spring wire guide 15, needle 1 and wire guide assembly 3 are all removed and the catheter connected to the desired equipment.
