E.Papazissis
At
the point of entry of the guide wire, make a small cut of about 1-2mm
to facilitate inserting the dilator.

Introduce
the dilator.
Push
the dilator deeply while turning and pushing it. If your skin cut is too
small, you will feel resistance during this phase.
Remove
the dilator. Be careful not to remove the guide. As a result of the dilatation
that has just been done, after removing the dilator there will be a small
leak of blood from the hole. For this reason you should press locally
with gauze as soon as the dilator is removed.
