I have found that the longer introducer (10 cm) does slide in more easily.
Perhaps this is related to the length of taper on it.

We keep an extra supply of the 5 Fr Bard Radiology MST kits (as well as
extra 5 Fr Safety MST kits) on hand that has the longer introducer that
seems to work much better for those tougher vessels. I have only tried the
introducer separation method once. I prefer to just use another introducer.
It seems like once I have attempted enough with the first, the second just
slides right in!!

Thanks to all of you for your assistance. I have tried all the suggestions,
except for the separation of the pieces and putting them back together.I
will certainly try that. I am really glad to know that I am not the only
one experiencing this. I thought I was loosing my touch or something. I
thought there was a new generation of "TOUGH SKIN". Thanks again for all
your input. I learn so much from this site.
And just one more note. I am seeing some light at the end of the tunnel
regarding the getting Cathflo in to the nurses hands. to Save the Line. The
pharmacist is presenting it to the Dr. at the monthly meeting for approval
for use. Thanks for all the help and suggestion on that problem . The
written policy and procedures that I received were very helpful. It's always
nice not to reinvent the wheel.
