Abstract
Disclosed are a surgical tunneler, kits comprising the surgical tunneler, and methods of use thereof, for implanting access lines. The surgical tunneler includes a rigid elongated body, a rounded or pointed distal tip configured to dissect between tissue layers and/or to form a surgical tunnel when pushed subcutaneously in the body, and a guidewire capturing portion provided proximally to the distal tip. The guidewire capturing portion is configured to capture and/or fasten onto a target portion of an elastic stiff guidewire from within a body of a subject, such that the guidewire can be drawn with the surgical tunneler by way of pulling from the target portion thereof. In some embodiments, the surgical tunneler is capable of locally manipulating, folding and/or fixedly deforming a chosen portion of the elastic stiff guidewire, when guidewire capturing portion fasten onto the target portion.
