A flushing device comprises a catheter guidewire flushing apparatus comprising a connector having an insertion port, an outlet port and a flushing port. The invention allows a clinician to adjust the length of a catheter, to insert the catheter while flushing to maneuver the catheter through a tortuous blood vessel, and to easily remove the guidewire for safe disposal. The catheter can then be left in place in the blood vessel. |
