Abstract
A device is disclosed for withdrawing a catheter or a probe from a body cavity or a body vessel with a drive which preferably is a friction drive and engages the axially movable part of the catheter. The drive is formed by at least one roller which is mounted for rotation around a shaft extending transversely to the direction of pull, which roller cooperates with at least one spring-loaded counter-roller, the rollers enclosing the catheter or the probe, with at least one roller being connected to a driving motor.
