Claims
- 1. A guide wire insertion device for a catheter, comprising:
a needle portion provided with a hollow portion, the needle portion having a needle mounted on a front end; valve means mounted in the hollow portion of the needle portion to control flow of blood; a cap portion mounted on a rear end of the hollow portion of the needle portion to fix the valve means in the needle portion; and a syringe for absorbing the blood through the needle portion by penetrating the valve means.
- 2. A guide wire insertion device of claim 1 wherein the valve means comprises a check valve for controlling the flow of the blood, a rod portion mounted on a rear portion of the check valve to open/close the check valve, and a spring for biasing the rod rearward to prevent the check valve from being opened when the syringe is removed by pushing the rod portion rearward.
- 3. A guide wire insertion device of claim 2 wherein the check valve comprises a circular flange having a central circular hole and a hemispherical portion projected from a surface of the circular flange and facing the needle, the hemispherical portion being provided at its top with a cut-away portion and a hollow portion communicating with the circular hole of the circular flange.
- 4. A guide wire insertion device of claim 3 wherein the check valve is designed such that the cut-away portion is elastically closed by self-elastic force.
- 5. A guide wire insertion device of claim 5 wherein the rod portion is formed in a hollow tube, one end of the rod portion has a diameter less than that of the circular hole such that the one end can be advanced into the hemispherical portion through the circular hole, wherein when the syringe is pushed forward, a front end of the syringe pushes the rod portion forward to open the cut-away portion.
- 6. A guide wire insertion device of claim 5 wherein one end of the spring is supported on the circular flange of the check valve and the other end of the spring is supported on a middle step formed on a middle portion of the rod portion.
- 7. A guide wire insertion device of claim 3 wherein the cap portion is provided with a hollow portion in which the rod portion is reciprocally mounted, the cap portion being fixed on the needle portion by a hook step formed on a front end of the cap portion and coupled to a hook groove formed on an inner circumference of the needle portion.
