A locking device (21) is provided that is fixedly mounted to a catheter (34) and used to frictionally secure a guidewire (36) to the catheter (34) so that the guidewire (36) and catheter (34) may be advanced together. In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking device (21) comprises a J- shaped catch (22) integrally formed with a guidewire introducer (10) fixedly mounted to the catheter shaft (38). Once the guidewire (36) has been inserted into the shaft (38) via the guidewire introducer (10), the operator may insert the guidewire into the J-shaped catch (22). The guidewire (36) can then be released by sliding the guidewire (36) out of the J-shaped catch (22).
Un dispositif de fixation (21) est monté fixe sur un cathéter (34) et utilisé pour solidariser par frottement un fil de guidage (36) au cathéter (34) de manière à ce que l'on puisse faire avancer ensemble le fil de guidage (36) et le cathéter (34). Dans un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, le dispositif de fixation (21) comprend un taquet en J (22) formé intégralement avec un introducteur de fil de guidage (10) monté fixe sur la tige de cathéter (38). Une fois le fil de guidage (36) inséré dans la tige (38) via l'introducteur de fil de guidage (10), l'opérateur peut insérer le fil de guidage dans le taquet en J (22). On peut alors libérer le fil de guidage (36) en faisant glisser le fil de guidage (36) hors du taquet en J (22).
