An insertion tool for use in inserting a guide wire into a guide wire lumen of a catheter for use in a lumen of an endoscope. The insertion tool includes a main body having a main lumen and a funnel-shaped extension connected to and disposed atop the main body. The funnel-shaped extension having a funnel lumen. The funnel lumen has a top opening and a bottom opening. The funnel lumen tapering from the top opening to the bottom opening. The bottom opening positioned and sized to communicate with the guide wire lumen of the catheter such that, when the catheter is disposed in the main lumen, the guide wire may be easily inserted into the top opening of the funnel lumen and into the guide wire lumen of the catheter.

What is claimed is: 1. A reinsertion tool for use in reinserting a guide wire into a guide wire channel of a catheter for use in a lumen of an endoscope, the reinsertion tool comprising: a main body having a lumen extending therethrough, the lumen sized to receive the catheter; a proximal portion o
What is claimed is: 1. A reinsertion tool for use in reinserting a guide wire into a guide wire channel of a catheter for use in a lumen of an endoscope, the reinsertion tool comprising: a main body having a lumen extending therethrough, the lumen sized to receive the catheter; a proximal portion of the main body, the proximal portion having means for removably securing the reinsertion tool to an endoscope port; a distal portion of the main body, the distal portion having means for engaging the channel of the catheter, the channel being formed in a side wall of the catheter and having a proximal channel end that is located distal of a proximal end of the catheter; wherein the distal portion has one or more slots to impart radial flexibility; and wherein the main body has a longitudinal slot formed therein. 2. A reinsertion tool as in claim 1, wherein the means for removably securing the reinsertion tool to an endoscope port include a series of flanges sized to be slightly larger than an inside diameter of the endoscope port. 3. A reinsertion tool as in claim 2, wherein the series of flanges are sized to snugly fit in several different sized endoscope ports. 4. A reinsertion tool as in claim 1, wherein the distal portion is radially flexible to fit inside an endoscope port. 5. A reinsertion tool for use in reinserting a guide wire into a guide wire channel of a catheter for use in a lumen of an endoscope, the reinsertion tool comprising: a main body having a lumen extending therethrough, the lumen sized to receive the catheter; a proximal portion of the main body, the proximal portion having means for removably securing the reinsertion tool to an endoscope port; a distal portion of the main body, the distal portion having means for engaging the channel of the catheter, the channel being formed in a side wall of the catheter and having a proximal channel end that is located distal of a proximal end of the catheter; wherein the main body has a longitudinal slot formed therein; and wherein the means for engaging the channel of the catheter is a protrusion configured to ride in the catheter channel. 6. A reinsertion tool as in claim 5, wherein the protrusion is tapered to a larger diameter at a proximal end thereof. 7. A reinsertion tool as in claim 5, wherein the protrusion is tapered such that a proximal portion thereof is shorter than a distal portion thereof. 8. A reinsertion tool as in claim 5, wherein the protrusion is sized to extend into the channel a distance sufficient to force a guide wire into the channel and to allow free longitudinal movement of the guide wire relative to the catheter. 9. A reinsertion tool for use in reinserting a guide wire into a guide wire channel of a catheter for use in a lumen of an endoscope, the reinsertion tool comprising: a main body having a lumen extending therethrough, the lumen sized to receive the catheter; a proximal portion of the main body, the proximal portion having means for removably securing the reinsertion tool to an endoscope port; a distal portion of the main body, the distal portion having means for engaging the channel of the catheter, the channel being formed in a side wall of the catheter and having a proximal channel end that is located distal of a proximal end of the catheter; wherein the main body has a longitudinal slot formed therein; and wherein the proximal portion of the main body includes a window extending from an outside edge of the body into the lumen. 10. A reinsertion tool for use in reinserting a guide wire into a guide wire channel of a catheter for use in a lumen of an endoscope, the reinsertion tool comprising: a body having a lumen extending therethrough, the lumen sized to receive the catheter, the body configured to be removably, rotatably secured to an endoscope port; a means for engaging the catheter channel, the channel being formed in a side wall of the catheter and having a proximal channel end that is located distal of a proximal end of the catheter; wherein the body has a longitudinal slot formed therein; and the body having a window extending from an outside edge of the body to the lumen, the window sized and configured such that the catheter may be inserted laterally through the window into the body lumen. 11. A reinsertion tool as in claim 10, wherein the window has an angular opening. 12. A reinsertion tool for use in reinserting a guide wire into a guide wire channel of a catheter for use in a lumen of an endoscope, the reinsertion tool comprising: a body having a lumen extending therethrough, the lumen sized to receive the catheter, the body configured to be removably, rotatably secured to an endoscope port; a means for engaging the catheter channel, the channel being formed in a side wall of the catheter and having a proximal channel end that is located distal of a proximal end of the catheter; wherein the body has a longitudinal slot formed therein; and wherein the means for engaging the catheter channel is a protrusion configured to ride in the catheter channel. 13. A reinsertion tool as in claim 12, wherein the protrusion is tapered to a larger diameter at a proximal end thereof. 14. A reinsertion tool as in claim 12, wherein the protrusion is tapered such that a proximal portion thereof is shorter than a distal portion thereof. 15. A reinsertion tool as in claim 12, wherein the protrusion is sized to extend into the channel a distance sufficient to force a guide wire into the channel and to allow free longitudinal movement of the guide wire relative to the catheter. 16. A medical system comprising: a catheter having a guide wire channel formed in a side wall of the catheter and having a proximal channel end that is located distal of a proximal end of the catheter; and a reinsertion tool for use in reinserting a guide wire into the guide wire channel of the catheter for use in a lumen of an endoscope, the reinsertion tool including: a main body having a lumen extending therethrough, the lumen sized to receive the catheter; a proximal portion of the main body, the proximal portion having means for removably securing the reinsertion tool to an endoscope port; a distal portion of the main body, the distal portion having means for engaging the channel of the catheter, wherein the means for engaging the channel of the catheter is a protrusion configured to ride in the catheter channel; and wherein the main body has a longitudinal slot formed therein. 17. A medical system as in claim 16, wherein the means for removably securing the reinsertion tool to an endoscope port include a series of flanges sized to be slightly larger than an inside diameter of the endoscope port.
