Abstract
A method of inserting a catheter into a body of a patient includes identifying a catheter insertion site on the patient's body; measuring a length, from the insertion site to another site external to the body of the patient, and along an external path that follows a presumed internal path of the catheter from the insertion site to a target site within the patient's body, using an automatic measuring device; trimming the catheter to an appropriate length based on the length measured by the automatic measuring device; and inserting the trimmed catheter into the body of the patient through the insertion site to the target site.
