Abstract: A system for inserting a medical tube within the body using a tunneler device enables formation of a tunnel within the body and further enables concurrent insertion of the medical tube within the body as the tunnel is formed, eliminating extra steps required by current technologies for insertion of the medical tube within the body. The tunneler device provides an attachment element that captures the medical tube and further provides a handle slidably mounted along the tunneler device to aid practitioners when inserting the tunneler device into the body. The tunneler device further provides a bend angle to aid practitioners in forming the tunnel past the clavicle of the body. The tunneler device enables practitioners to place medical tubes within the body while reducing time and friction commonly associated with medical tube placement procedures.

Abstract: A catheter placement system for drawing a medical tube through a sheath includes a suction generation device and further includes one or more suction adapter devices that enable connection of the suction generation device to the sheath and facilitate insertion of the medical tube into the sheath. The one or more suction adapter devices are operable for lateral removal from the sheath and the medical tube, enabling connection of the medical tube to one or more external devices prior to drawing the medical tube through the sheath.
