The present disclosure is related to a device for gripping catheters that are used in interventional cardiac procedures without causing internal catheter damage. The present disclosure will allow the operator to maintain improved stability and maneuverability compared with current approaches, including, primarily, digital manipulation, which can lead to fatigue, instability and inappropriate catheter movement. Specifically in the pediatric population where small movements can lead to severe and permanent complications, the present disclosure has the potential to increase the safety profile of already high-risk interventional catheterization and electrophysiology procedures.
