Abstract

The present invention is directed to a protective carpal tunnel grooved director catheter device which is housed in a protective case. The grooved guide director device is constructed with a tubular member with a blunt distal end and a handle secured to the tubular member. The tubular member defines a lumen which terminates at the distal end of the tubular member in a blind bore and the handle defines a thoroughgoing lumen axially aligned with the tubular member lumen. A cut out section is provided in the tubular member opening the tubular member lumen to the atmosphere to form a groove for a balloon catheter which is mounted in the lumen.
