Abstract

A device including a base sized to be hand-held, the base defining a longitudinal axis between first and second opposing longitudinal ends, a cover reversibly fastened to the base in a closed position; a sheath clamp coupled to the base, the sheath clamp capturing a sheath handle of a sheath to immobilize the sheath handle relative to the base, wherein the sheath clamp is an aperture formed in corresponding abutting edges of the cover and the base, the aperture being formed when the cover and the base are in the closed position; a catheter clamp capturing a catheter, a remote end of the catheter configured to deliver a catheterized medical procedure; the catheter clamp aligned to be substantially co-axial with the sheath clamp; and a linear actuator effecting back-and-forth linear motion of the catheter clamp relative to the sheath clamp.
