A guide wire opening (62) in the distal end (55) is in communication with a tunnel (100) contained in the distal end (55). There is a trough (70) extending into the outer surface of the trough (70) for receiving a guide wire (120). The trough (70) is in communication with the tunnel (100). [Figure 1]1/6 DO. t I..-T NI Io
