Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A hub is provided for a sheath, catheter, or other tubular device that includes a tubular body comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a hub passage extending between the proximal end and the distal end; a valve mounted in the tubular body adjacent the proximal end comprising a proximal surface adjacent the proximal end and a distal surface adjacent an intermediate region of the hub passage; a side port comprising a first end coupled to an outer surface of the tubular body adjacent the intermediate region, a second outer end, and a port passage extending between the second end and the first end and communicating with the intermediate region of the hub passage; and a guide element in the side port adjacent the first end for directing fluid introduced into the second end through the port passage towards the distal surface of the valve.
