Patent attributes
This patent document discloses accessory devices and associated methods for catheter and guidewire management in a surgical setting. Implementations can include an accessory device having a manually deformable body that includes proximal and distal surfaces. The body may further define at least first and second apertures, each aperture extending through the body. The first aperture can be engageable with a proximal end portion of a first elongate medical device, and the second aperture can be configured to receive a second elongate medical device. The body can be slidable along the proximal end portion of the first elongate medical device and/or the second elongate medical device, and the proximal surface of the body may include a funnel leading into the first aperture, the second aperture, or both. The body may be incorporated into, or attached to, a proximal side of a hemostasis valve utilized for a medical operation.
